Well Japan has its ups and downs, too,I can understand things that might anger you here or make you sad, this motivates me to do something, but it may be different for you.

That's very true.
I know that even Japan is not perfect. But it's seems somewhat better over there, in my opinion. Technology, fashion, etc. - Japan is in the top with such things.
People in Japan also seem to value things more. I admire that.
If I may ask, are you currently in Japan?

[manganimefan227]

No. I agree, Japanese seem nicer compared to Americans, so I'd love to live there if I can live off being a mangaka with fluent Japanese.

I know theres a good chance ^_^

Until then . . .I live . . .in my crazy realm . . .somewhere in America ^_~

[manganimefan227]

Hello Luna! Welcome!

Tips? Hmmm . . .Lots of puff balls or roses . . .And maybe one with Edward Cullen or Justin Bieber for thse fans? Try Hello Kitty, that and Sanrio all together may help too ^_^

Yes, they definitely do seem nicer.
I wish you luck! If you know fluent Japanese, then you have a great chance. Also remember to follow you dreams no matter what!
The buisness world can be harsh, so don't let that stop you.

[manganimefan227]

Right! Best of luck in what you choose to do too!!
