The story of a Spanish who actually became a manga artist in Japan.


Hello Reader!

I’m Naohiro Muta, another founder of Anime Art Academy.

Today, I would like to share a video interview I found with a Spanish person who is actually working as a manga artist in Japan(he is in charge of drawing).

While I’m sure that everyone has a different level of interest in drawing manga and anime, I believe that the stories of people from outside of Japan who have actually become manga artists will be both informative and inspiring to everyone.

It will also lower the hurdle for those who want to make manga, anime, or illustration their career.

There are many different routes to becoming a cartoonist, so it is not necessary to be like in this video, but I think it is very informative, such as his way of thinking.

He originally had other regular job, but then he became honest with himself and started trying to become a professional manga artist. He went to art school, experienced as a inker, came to Japan to work as a manga assistant to become a manga artist himself... He opened one door after another.

See the interview below for more details!

(It is mostly in English, although some Japanese and Spanish is spoken...)

He mentioned the advantages of being a manga artist in Japan if you are not from Japan.

He also touches on the previous situation of becoming a manga artist in the U.S. and Europe, but things are changing now and I am convinced that in the near future, manga will become more popular in general and manga artists will rise in status as a respected and economically rewarding profession outside Japan.

You may be that frontrunner!

Now, please watch the video interview!
