I'm not 100% sure what you're asking but I will try to help anyway. I help host a manga site myself and from my experience, the art is always important so being good at drawing helps. Some important things on that front are shading, being able to draw a character, location, or object with enough detail that they look good, but not so complicated that it would be a pain to recreate the character, location, or object. Even if the art isn't spectacular, being a good storyteller is just as important. I hope that helps.

Actually, there is no such schooling at all for being a mangaka! if you are aspiring to become a mangaka though, maybe you can try the following:

* Alot of mangakas start out as doujinshi artists, publishing small peices of fan art in magazines. This may be noticed by a publisher, and the publisher may approach you to publish a manga of your own.( CLAMP started out this way before being recognised by Kodansha Publishers).

* You may also start out as an apprentice of a mangaka for some time before you think it's OK to start publishing a manga of your own.(Arakawa Hiromu -the mangaka of Fullmetal Alchemist- started as an apprentice herself).

* You may also join a manga college for a few years for good exposure.

* Ithink most mangakas have become who they are today by this way: just approaching a publisher and askig them if they can publish your manga!(But remember that this way may be a bit tougher than the rest as the publisher has to approve of your storyline before publishing).

The main key to being a mangaka is just doing what you love the most- making manga!
