Its now easiler to get your manga published. Just visit www.comiAsia.com, they can help you to publish your comics for handphones. They are also going to have a contest to groom artist into professional comics artist with mentorship from top comics.
What if I don’t know how to speak and write japanese?
How often iz it held and how long, when, and date? Please. I’m actually very interested!
LOL
yeah how often is it held an i want to know how to enter i have a great story i want to publish
“What if I don’t know how to speak and write japanese?”
I’m a manga writer and artist, and If i were ever turned down by a company because i didn’t speak or write my books in japanese, i’d tell them to go shove it
. My point being, Tokyo pop isn’t just japanese, they have a US branch and translate comics to English, they even have series that were written by amercians. You don’t need to be, speak, or ever know where japan is in order to write a good manga style comic, just need to have a good idea.
I’ve been working on my anime/manga story for three years now and am still loving it lol. I would really like to know where to send it and enter the tokyopop annual rising star of manga competition- and like Tiffany i would really like to know where its held how long- just all the details i could possibly have. I see this competition as a little launch pad for my dreams!!!
Also- are there any Big or well know manga’s that have actually been a success from this competition? Plus who are the “big guys” who will sreen our work? Shonen jump people? viz media people? Lol so many questions…so little replies lol.

I was browsing the internet, trying to find information on how to publish my work. If there really is a manga contest, it would be my dream to enter. Please! If anyone knows any information on this, please write back. By the way, I never knew so many people were interested in anime. It would be pretty cool to get to know some of you guys. Maybe we could talk over the internet about how to get our works published, and other things relating to that matter.

A lot of people love anime and manga. It’s becomming extremely popular more and more every year. That is why these contests are held. I am studying animation and manga, and I think this is a good chance to show your skills.
If you’re inetersted, simply go to the site provided instead of asking in comments. Read a little, it doesn’t hurt =P
And, maybe try picking up a “Rising Stars of Manga” manga from your library or the book star. You can get a good look at what you need to qualify, and some of the past entries. There’s 3 books out already that I know of. :]
-peace, Lo
You have any questions you think I might be able to answer, email me at Lolo.chan@hotmail.com
