I grew up wanting to be an manga-ka, but I decided to do animation to create my own anine serise. I am now a professional animator. I also speak, read and write Japanese. I will be competing againts other Japanese applicants who are animators soon. Thanks for this video. I will keep in mind about having a leg up as a foreigner when competing againts other Japanese applicants in the animation industry.

Please update! How's it going? I'm a Swede who's moving to Japan next year to study animation, do you have any advice?

Yes I love this! I've been training myself for 2 years so far just to work mangaka, I've been confiding myself to small work areas, I've been reading an analyzing stories, writing and drawing everyday, holding myself to deadlines, and the such. I'm so ready. I'm entering a competition held by the publisher I want to work under early next year and if all goes well I'm going to fly to visit an editor. Im so ready for this I'm willing to leave everything behind and move. I guess the most important thing about being a mangaka is dedication. You're working so much for so long for almost no pay, so you HAVE to love it or you'll be screwed. If I'm ever a success I'll encourage everyone who has the same dream to try!

Thankyou so much for this video!♡ I'm currently studying graphic design in Finland, drawing is my passion and i love drawing manga. I've plan to move to Japan after i'm graduated so who knows if oneday i'll be an manga artist in Japan too :) Great video!♡

From my understanding, if one says they want to be a manga artist, it not only means to draw in the style that is popular in Japan, but to also have a strong grasp on Japanese culture, the language, and in turn be able to reach a Japanese audience (hence the desire to live in the country as well). So that could be a complicated goal for some who doesn't think beyond wanting to draw in "manga style". You have to know your audience, especially if you're intent on publishing work in Japan. Now, the second best option is to do manga inspired work as a side occupation and using social media platforms like DeviantArt, Pixiv, Tumblr, and Patreon to market and sell your fanart and original work. The latter option is usually better for those who can't afford travel, school tuition, and live in Japan for long periods of time, as well as the added time needed to learn the language. Doing/learning to draw manga style as a side job/hobby allows you to work at your own pace (and learn the language as well), and may work for some people.

Morikun Rinari Yana (kuroshitsuji/black butler) and Arakawa (full-metal Alchemist) are 2 mangakas that come to mind who focuses on a more western audience instead. Isayama's (Attack on Titan (don't feel like spelling out the Japanese name T~T)) style is different, and from what I gathered, I believe the characters are primarily German? (I don't really know) I suppose it's either get really good at both art and story telling, or just storytelling in general. (Story played a huge part for Isayama). If not then going good with your opinion is a pretty good route too. Like you said, it all depends on the audience. (I agree with you, by the way. Just stating another possibility, it's a rather rare one but it's still a possibility.)

So fun to see you meeting Åsa, I've read a lot of her manga stories :) I remember how impessed I got hearing a Swedish person had made such progress in becoming a mangaka, and it is really inspiring. I unfortunately don't think I'll ever draw full manga stories, but I really enjoy making small comic strips or just simple pictures. Thank you for letting us see this nice interivew! Greetings from Sweden~ Älskar dina mangaberättelser Åsa, de är otroligt fint ritade och har så mycket känsla. Ser fram emot att få kunna läsa mer i framtiden! :D

This gave me so much hope you don't even know! Ever since I was 12 I wanted to be a mangaka. Now I'm 19 and I still have the same dream.

I feel like being in Japan will give you real exposure, web-comics have a sense of non-professionalism, and with ought an editor, you can only go so far in building real experience. Look at the author of Attack on Titan as well, your art doesn't need to be perfect, your manga just needs to be interesting. So I guess that's good for those creative minds out there.

Wow, this is a very awesome video. I often considered a career in the future as some sort of manga artist, but after seeing the competition and work that goes into it, I thought I would have no chance. This video really inspires me to look back into the mangaka career once again, so thank you for the awesome video!

オーサさんの「北欧女子・・・」二冊買って読みました。日本が外国人の方からどのように見えてるのかに興味を持つきっかけになった本です。その後、KZreadでいろんな外国人の方が日本について語られてる動画を見るようになり、そこからシャーラさんの動画へもたどり着いてたびたび見させてもらうようになりました。

Oh wait... I know her. Didn't she do some fabric designs for ikea? I have her designs on my curtains.

オーサさんは体験記みたいなもので最初だから良かったけど、同じ系統の体験記は難しくなっていくでしょうね、話を理解してもらわなくてはいけないので日本語は必須ですね、あとはメチャクチャ絵が上手ければ（速さも含めて）外国人でも道は開けるかも。

This is super interesting! Being a manga artist in Japan was one of my dreams as a teenager. Thanks for sharing!

Love it! I really enjoy this interview, even though I'm not much into manga I really think that is something interesting and very artistic :)

This is exactly what I needed... I've been dreaming about becoming a manga artist for a long time though I live in a country where that topic almost doesn't exist and no one takes it seriously. I don't have any support from my family either. They try to kill my dreams every single day but I don't want to give up so easily. I want to make a manga that would get successful enough to be adapted into anime - anime with a message to people who are in a similiar situation, who don't believe in themselves, who's got a really low self-esteem. I want to be a true example that everyone can fulfill their dreams and I want my work to be an existing proof. I hope I'll achieve that one day. Stay strong everyone and don't give up! I know it's easy to forget about your true passion but remember that Internet is full of creative and supportive people who can always cheer you up and bring you hope - just like that video! Thanks for uploading this!

Super late comment, but if anyone else just found thus video like me. I just wanted to offer my experience as well. I did the thing they were talking about with going directly to an editor and showing them your manga. I went to Shueisha and anyone can go there. They even have the sign in forms in English. Anybody can do it, I just recommend being proficient in Japanese or bringing a friend because all your advice is in Japanese (the editor I had could speak a little bit of English and asked me to explain the theme of my manga in English) and he spoke extremely fast so it was hard to catch all of the advice. I think editors actually want overseas talent because it offers new stories and perspectives.

Hi Sharla I've (tried to) read "Sayonara September vol. 1" in Swedish, and loved what I could understand (I'm danish - language is somewhat similar yet not at all) - the style and the story is right up my alley.

Really great interview! When I was a teen in the late 90's all I wanted to do was become a mangaka, though I didn't know that word at the time. Even though I went to school for art I was just never very good at drawing aside from copying other work. So I ended up going into 3D animation, which can help with anime I guess, a lot of anime studios use the same 3D software I use, LightWave 3D. Bakuman is one of my favorite manga / anime though. I can't wait for the live action movie when it comes out in October. I will definitely check out Åsa's books, just bought the first Sayounara September!

Asa in wonderland!

Thanks for the video it help alot. well on my way to learning how to speak and wright in Japanese! :)

Thanks for making this video & interview happen. I've wanted to try my hand at manga since I was a teenager, but only got to a skill level I'm slightly comfortable with just recently. I started a project, but was feeling kinda discouraged until I saw this video. Thank you guys.

Yay new video! Hey sharla love the new video

Great interview! My favourite category of manga has to be sports manga, so I hope one day Aso has plans to write one in the future :D I'll definitely check it out!

Question for Åsa: did you move to Japan to become a Mangaka specifically? Also, what kind of paper (size/type) do manga artists generally use for pages?

Thank you so much for this video!! Is really nice to see she is able to live and work in Japan doing what she loves ^_^.

this was a great interview, thank you very much! i'm loving the new content Sharla i'm glad you're doing more diverse stuff now that you're focusing on KZread as a career ^^ i only wish you used a wider shot for the interview so we can see both of you clearly, but i'm sure it's because Japanese rooms are too small or maybe it needs a special lens lol thanks a lot to Asa for talking to us about this interesting subject, i'm an artist myself so i respect the hard work she goes through ♥

Omg I wanna read those 😍😍 so inspring! Great video!

Such great talent, thank you for sharing!

This is the video I needed to see.

This is so inspiring! Thank you!

I don't understand when you are saying if you are a Mangaka foreign is like an advantage in Japan. Cause always I had listened the foreigns there are Gaijin and with more limitations for entrepreneur.

Theoretically, it can be possible for foreign manga to be animated. It's just that you'll have to find studios who want to gain the rights to adapt your manga into a TV or OVA (straight to video) series while possibly jumping through legal hurdles. I'm not 100% sure how international copyright laws work when it comes to foreign companies seeking adaptation rights from a creator that lives overseas so you might want to do your own research on that. Also, whether or not your work will be adapted really depends on whether or not it can reach a Japanese audience. Animation studios might to decide whether it is worth adapting based on financial success and popularity.

Although not Japanese himself, I highly recommend watching Mark Crilley if you have the chance!
