Well I did when I was small xD I thought it was such a cool dream to think up a story and let your ideas flow by drawing creatively. Sometimes manga inspires me to become one like Bakuman. But I think that if you want to get serialized in Shounen Jump or other manga companies, you have to learn how to speak/write Japanese :P So, that sort of ruined my imagination xD

waah, I really wanted to become a manga artist when I was younger~! But that dream died when I realized that I can't really draw :P

I did make some stick man's with shojo eyes thought x)

No.

I think for about two minutes, back in 2009, I wanted to become a manga artist. Then I realized I can't draw.

I'm incredibly shit at drawing in general (though my mspaint skills are actually okay), but a friend was pretty good at it so we gave it a go with me throwing in some plot ideas here and there for a short manga we tried to work on. It didn't go anywhere sadly.

Not unless people like awesome stick figures

Yes.




Along with other fantasy careers like a vampire hunter, a dinosaur, an astronaut and an estate agent.

I have, I even created a Manga panel.. but I didn't continue with it. I don't have the patience to spend a lot of time finishing it.

Nope

Maybe for a minute... but then again, I also wanted to be a singer (even though I suck at singing), an astronaut, a Lara Croft clone and someone who takes care of pandas. And I'm too lazy for such a job, I'd quit after drawing two chapters.

Of course; I've read Bakuman :P

Somewhat, I've been complimented and won awards with my drawings. It seems like a cool profession.
But I just don't see my life in Manga, I'd much rather work in the game industry.

every time i read any manga, but then i remember i suck at drawing :(

This. I'm good at copying what I see but I can't draw freely.

I can draw but I'm not interested in becoming a manga artist. Being the one who comes up with the storyline and characters kinda appeals to me though.

I can't draw so I really couldn't be the person drawing the pictures. I would to be the person coming up with stories and characters for manga though.

basically the same thing
"Wouldn't it be awesome to be a mangaka and get lucky to get serialized!?"
*minutes later*
"Can't draw..."

Yup, back in high school a friend and I entered a manga competition (forgot what it was called), we figured we had nothing to lose because it was for fun. Anyway, long story short, we got an email a few months later saying we didn't win :/

This 8) I'd love to be one but yeah , can't go far with mah stickmen ! xD

aaah, this brings me back :)
