How much do you get for being a manga artist?

Answer 1

The payment you get depends on you. When you first start out there is a lot you need to pay. Materials, printing, publishing, assistants if needed etc. Most mangaka I know only make 円49,232+ (they are beginners). If you are able to become very popular you can get signed to a large publishing company. Most of which can pay you quite handsomely. (if your manga is popular) But the draw back is they tell you what to draw most of the time. (they'll "fix" things here and there.)

Answer 2

The income for manga artists varies widely depending on factors like popularity, experience, and the publication they work for. New artists may earn around $1,000 per month, while successful artists can make over $100,000 annually from royalties, merchandise sales, and commissions. It is a competitive field, and income can be unpredictable.
