I'm just thinking of it right now since I need to practice drawing some more adn get back to how I used to draw lol But I'm going to become a Mangaka ^-^ and I am gathering people with different knowledge about the process and together we can make a Manga then start selling it after we have become good enough and can make a Doushinji(I think that's what its called) or Independant Manga xD(like independant films but manga version xD) I'm still thinking tons and I think it can be done with the right amount fo people and dedication. Maybe even makign a base here in Minneapolis for us all to live together and become closer rather than jsut being online buds and such. eh still ideas and thoughts but if you wanna stay in contact lemme know :] or register to my site and the site forums at http://salpacheco.weebly.com cya! ^^

I am also making a manga, but I intend to stay solo.. Sorry.. :S
It most defenitly is not easy to create manga of your own, most of all get it noticed. If you can find a team, well thats great, but I think you will be lucky to find anyone willing to team up, especially via the internet. Your best doing it by yourself and maybe refering to forums every now and then for help.
I will say what I plan to do, and you may follow if you wish.. First of all I'm getting my story done first. Get it all down on paper or pc. Then I want to write in novel form first, though this dosent really need to be done. Just helps me get better feedback, and a better idea of how I want it to be. Then I will start on creating it. And I personally will create youtube video updates for the manga. This creates a fanbase for the manga before its even finished. I havent thought as far as print or production yet, though I know I dont want it to be a web comic/manga. I want it to be in real book form..

What skills do you have? Story writting? Backgrounds? Character designs? Computer editing?

Here are a few people that create manga/graphic novels, and post thier updates online. You should check them out, they are great. PM them, and they should reply with help. I have and they are great!

Hope this helps! Pm me if you have questions. ;D
