hi all --

just wanted to give my semi-random two cents of info as a fellow aspiring manga artist:
there are several publishers in the US now who publish OEL (original english language) manga. I also have been submitting manga stories to comic publishers in general, not just ones who publish solely manga.
if you do google searches, you can find lists of many large and small comic and/or manga publishers.

hope this info was helpful, good luck to all!

PS: someone in the beginning of this thread asked about where to buy manga materials?
you can buy paper made for creating manga as well as professional-quality pens, screen tone, etc online. I recommend micron and copic pens (altho I have begun drawing almost entirely on the computer of late). good manga-making programs are mangastudio and photoshop.
