i mean. i need encourage meant. I know that Japanese people start drawing at like 5 years old maybe. By the time their adults they'd practacally be expert drawers. I love manga and i have passion for it but if i wuld take it that far and be a manga illistator, do you think m manga would be a best seller like bleach or naruto? or would non-jaanese artists be like no compitetion to the japenese manga artists? I really wanna know your honest opinions.

Of course, I mean, drawing manga is not limited to the Japanese. You only think that that is so because that kind of drawing was originally form the Japanese. But I think even people from other countries can draw manga. There's no rule that they can't :)

I think that even non-japanese people can be a best manga animator. Because I think that being a manga artist is an ability and a talent. I love manga and anime and I think that Japanese manga are great but also other manga that non-Japanese do. Japanese are a great creator of manga no question ask! Other nation like americans, Filipino , chinese, and so on... can a do a creat manga it is depends upon the story that catches readers/viewers attention.
