    As an ignorant teenager I got really into manga and thought about how cool it would be to make comics. As a self-indulgent 20-something I started working full-time and wondered how I could find the time to practice drawing. As a cranky jobless thirty-something I feel fed up with not putting in the effort to do what I wanted in the past, and now I want to try and push myself to try and make something. Seeing you outline your creative process and create wonderful work is a big inspiration, and I wish you the best with your work!

      start now. just do it. even if you suck, and it takes forever to get good. there's no way to go but up. as long as you're being a responsible adult w/ everything outside of manga, just go for it. say f*ck it and do something you think is cool even if it comes out bad. keep doing it until you become good. we have mad info on the internet on making stories, mangas etc. if you need an intro to how to create stories, there's a youtube channel called Film Courage. they literally list what to put in a good story. use your own opinion with what they say, but they list the textbook basics/foundation principles of story telling, and you can make it your own.

    • @jinsaotome3607

      there is also a manga series called manben by manga artist naoki urasawa. it's a show that films manga artists in japan while they draw chapters of their mangas. they actually show you their process. that may help too if you can find the episodes.

    Man you are an absolute inspiration, I took all the wrong turns in life, studied what I didn't like and ended up doing what I hated. I'm a mechanical engineer and I even got a master in industrial administration but I absolutely despise my field. People always told me that I should go for something artistic because I always a talent for drawing. Now I'm in my mid 20s and and I'm finally picking up drawing lessons on the internet, hopefully in a couple of years I can start my part time job as a mangaka myself, self publish obviously and eventually do what I truly love for a living.

      You have the ability to make 70-120k a year. Do that but don't bother with keeping up with others. Funnel your money towards staying debt free, keep a roof over your head, food on the table and ample time to work on perfecting your craft. Fund the basics, your art business and save/invest the rest. You're in a great space right now, take advantage of it.

Once you got your manga popular, the demand will go higher and publisher don't care whether you get sleep or not as long as you meet the deadline.

    The TH-cam algorithm gods have given me another gem! I've always been aware of how stressful and tiring making manga is(cuz I'm a massive manga geek), so seeing how some mangaka's manage their time is honestly fascinating. Balancing a job and making a stunning manga takes some serious stamina. I'd do anything to have the amount of energy you have. Also, your Japanese is really satisfying to listen to. Keep up the awesome work!

    Came here for the pretty art thumbnail, stayed for your personality! I cackled so much reading your mini comments throughout the video. You earned yourself a subscriber!
    That aside, I love how relatable your life is such as procrastinating drawing until last minute or having a day job while drawing manga part time. Usually in these "mangaka life video", they're full time mangaka with insane drawing speed and has lots of assistants to the point you'll think "I'll never be as good as them". But your video showed how hard you work to balance your life and drawing, which is very motivating! Thank you very much!!

    Thank you for this Mieri! I always admire ppl who draw comics bc as an artist myself who draws them for fun, I know it is a LOT of work. I'm glad you have family members who can switch off with the cooking! (The food looks amazing btw) I'm alone a lot of the time and when I worked my office job it really is impossible to find time to draw after coming home from a long commute, making dinner, shower, etc. So I'm glad you can split it. It really helps with the time. XD Also going straight to line art gives your manga this free-feeling I really like when I read it. That's great and admirable too. Good luck! I support you!!

    Man, you're goooood. The art is pro level (faces are so cute!), the story looks fan (some lines made me laugh even out of context of the manga), your translation is perfect (really! contrary to a lot of translations with proofreading by paid people on official webtoon sites). I wish you a fast and lasting success and a possibility to become a full time mangaka.
