Clean out your ears Ming!
I guess I more meant using a manga style outside of Japan seems odd. And that the stereotypical mangaka lifestyle is something I admire.
Ayy lmao.
Do you even Adam Warren?
He basically draws the weebest weebshit in mainstream comics. He even wrote and drew some official Dirty Pair comics.
(PS: Read Empowered and Livewires if you haven't.)
There's also, y'know, the entire nation of France.
Dunno about the stereotypical mangaka lifestyle, however. Most non Japanese publishers expect more professionalism from their people than that.
Maybe you can become an independent artist, and be poor and stupid forever!
