You mean "comic books"?

Why is this in serious discussion? All it does is bring lulz.

Well, there is a catagory for American manga, there's heaps of it! Dramacon, MBQ, Peach Fuzz etc.

But of course, becoming an animator or a mangaka is exceptional hard work. Making a 8 seconed clip of animation can take 1-2 hours, depending on the media you're doing it in. I remember taking 4 hours to make a 30 second clip with very simple animating thingies.

Being a mangaka would be hard work as well. I mean, if you were to do everything by yourself, you'd have to do EVERYTHING by yourself. Lettering (which is actually not that easy), drawing, inking, screentoning, cleaning, editing, writing, the works! You could have your work load reduced by having a friend, or work partner, with you to help. All in all its a very shoot-for-the moon situation. You'd have to work exceptionally hard.
