I am an artist and I was wondering if there were some companies out there which hired comic/manga/anime artists in Canada or USA. I am a digital artist as well as traditionnal. If you have any suggestion, go on :)

Everything I've heard about the industry states that unless you live in japan and are very skilled you don't have a chance at all. Comapnies here don't do anime/manga because the Japanese are so much better at it. They don't even like seeing it in your portfolio. The only solution is to go get hired by a Japanese company, and they rarely hire outsiders. You would have to be 'supernaturally talented'.
Now you might be able to make your own comic with the style, and even get published by a small company. Certainly many artists show at least an influence, and many techniques have cropped over in comics, try reading Scott McCloud's books on the subject of comics making.

I have to say that it's going to be very Hard to do..
As Manga style is just not that appreciated in US.
Like the person above me said, it is usually advisable for you to STAY AWAY from manga style portfolio.
Don't get me wrong, i love manga and anime... but, in Canada or USA, i think they are not ready for this kind of style. At least, not yet.
