There's a japanese docuseries called 'Manben' (available on youtube) that interviews a bunch of famous manga artists. Without fail they all talk about how much work, hours, suffering goes into the first years of making manga.
It's very interesting to watch and I highly recommend it. But it's also a GREAT advertisement for avoiding the industry.
- Ekaros 3mo agoFirst years. It is pretty bad considering these are most likely weekly releases. And just how many works gets axed in less than a year. Mostly for not being very good and thus not being popular enough. It really is a brutal industry with heavy power law distributions. And being famous these are the people who made it. Not those dropped on the side of the road. Really is something not to do unless you have absolute passion.
