How much does a mangaka get paid?

Answer 1

A Mangaka doesn't get paid salary. They get paid for whatever they sold.

The average Mangaka works roughly 8-10 hours a day. Generally they have to give in 20-40 pages of manga a month so it's one compleated page every day (not including the time it takes to write the story). If the editor doesn't like it the Mangaka has to re-do it. Also the extra art like cover art or graphic books.

You don't get an hourly rate but a contract based partially on sales, the average contract is usually for a beginner 500$ per 20 pg's.

Assuming it takes 5 hours per page about 5$ per hour.

If the Managaka's just starting then they're looking at self publishing which is Doujinshi. In that case they make what they sell after paying their own printing fee.

They have to then calculate their costs; time to make the comic, materials used, paying assistances, ect. ect. ect.

In the end the profit is compleatly dependent on the Mangaka.

Answer 2

In Japan, the amount of money manga artists make varies extremely widely. Many beginner and mid-level artists also have other main jobs, and manga eranings are extra income rather than something to live off of. However, experienced manga artists often earn more than US comics artists. This is largely because in Japan, comic creators usually own the rights to their own characters and thus make money off anime adaptations, Action Figures, clothing, and other merchandise. Manga artists also have a much higher level of celebrity than US comics artists and can make money from TV appearances and other events.

Answer 3

Managakas (manga artists) are payed at a set rate per page, per week. Payments vary between publishers, but one such popular publisher, Shonen Jump, pays at a rate of 12,000 yen (roughly $120 U.S. Currency) per page, and standard chapters are around 20 pages per week. That by itself is a low payment, but they are also deducted for the rent of their workspace (usually an apartment), on top of assistants. Individually, assistants are usually payed around 2000 dollars, but may vary according to experience. All in all, manga is a shifty business. Little pay, long hours, but still the dream job for many an artist.

Answer 4

If the series is popular and succesful, a mangaka like for example Masashi Kishimoto, the creator of Naruto series, can became rich. But it's really hard work. I guess that for one book they get as much as the manga costs. Maybe even less.

Answer 5

The payment for a mangaka can vary widely based on factors such as experience, popularity, and publishing agreements. In general, beginner mangaka may earn around $10,000 to $30,000 per year, while successful and established mangaka can earn significantly more, ranging from $50,000 to several hundred thousand dollars per year.

Answer 6

Not much, most artist in general have a second job, called their bread-and-butter money.
