First, I would really like to thank you for posting this information it has really encouraged me to follow whatever dreams I have, especially the one I have of becoming a mangaka in japan. Could I send you some of my character design drawings so you could critique them for me? Do you know how popular a manga has to be to be made into an anime? Is it possible for a non-native mangaka to get their manga made into an anime? if you were to use a drawing program which one would you use? Do you know which mangakas in japan are currently looking for assistants? How exactly does one become a mangaka’s assistant?
