I’m 16 and a I live in the U.S I’ve been looking for things that I am interested in doing as a living. I’ve spent a lot time looking around at what most of the people I know have told me to look in to, but none of these things have interested me. Only recently I have been looking into becoming a mangaka and reading your post just started to make my heart race. I do have a couple of questions though. Is it hard to become a mangaka’s assistant? When you started out trying to become a mangaka did you have problems with money?
