Answer 2

According to 2010 reports, Oda made more than 20 million US dollars from whole One Piece franchise. That's more than any mangaka. It also includes merchandises, dvd sales, t-shirts etc. Popular mangakas earn 5000 to 10000 dollars per month. For average mangakas, they make just about normal citizens or slightly higher (or maybe even lesser).

certainly... i do no longer think of you would be that helpful. human beings relatively hate human beings who attempt to mimic a jap element. there is this guy, Mark Crilley (?) on youtube who shows human beings the thank you to entice manga characters. His paintings is definitely good, and he has his very own manga sequence, Miki Falls, even though it is not too favourite. human beings examine it, yeah, even though it is not as helpful as like... loss of life be conscious. I advise, yeah i think provide it a shot, yet surely do no longer use it as your purely source of earnings. that's relatively helpful to circulate to Japan to be the place the action is however. Get a job and don't provide up on your different desires. Have it as a edge venture. I continuously enjoyed to entice on a similar time as a newborn, and that i nonetheless do now, yet come on. you will must be amazing to have the skill to stay off of something like that. Drawing manga probably heavily isn't any diverse. do no longer enable it go, however, in case you like it. have relaxing, yet additionally be sensible. Sorry to be a party pooper *sigh*

Answer 4

Think about it. It takes 1$ to print a copy. the minimum for a copy is 1,000 pieces. It costs 1,000$ to print, then sells for 1.25$ each. It's almost break even... What you get as an artist is fame and glory, not cash. For that, you have to franchise.

Answer 5

Sadly, just not enough. Ya know, unless your Naoko or were Tezuka. There's printing, release, publicists, fan stuff; you have to be rather dedicated; just don't expect a heap full of money overnight though.

Answer 6

I heard weekly sales of Manga in Japan exceed the entire annual output of the American comic industry... I think that's alot, comparing weekly to annual.
