I am working on my story, but I have high hopes for this idea and I don't want to mess it up. I would like to start on another idea with someone so I can get a little more familiar with manga writing.
btw, forgot to put my skype at the top.

Writing manga and writing a novel aren't really all that different - it's just that when put into the format of a manga you can remove some details because now they'd be drawn and thus don't need to be in text. However, you'd still NEED THOSE DETAILS in order for them to be drawn in the first place so there's not much of a difference. The worst possibility is you write too detailed for things you could skimp on (as it'll be drawn) and, wow, you wasted a whole 3 minutes writing it. So what? The outcome will still be ten times better for it.
It seems like you're not really taking writing seriously, and thinking like that will make it so nothing you ever write will be any good. If you think it's easy you're probably doing a terrible job of it, even if you're just writing for some hopeful future comic of yours. You may want to try writing the story out simply for your own good - plus that way you're more likely to get someone to draw it as well, especially if it's not written poorly and is actually interesting or entertaining. So many people go and say they got "good ideas" for a story, game, book, comic, whatever and then too late they realize they can't write for shit or don't know what to do WITH those ideas and everyone wasted all their time for nothing. From that, almost nobody will be willing to help unless you've already written a damn lot or finished writing entirely.
So your very best bet is to deal with it and just write it - hell, if you really want to make it "manga ready" so badly then write it like a screenplay. In that case you only shortly detail settings, actions (well, in depth for any important stuff), and so on, with the focus being on everything that isn't going to be drawn.

I do not have anyone to draw unfortunately. Hoping this threat helps with that.
Thanks for the support! =]
You should check some manga drawing clubs or websites then to get an illustrator
