Manga artist wanted

by

Just passing this along from About.com.

Fifth Dimension LTD is looking for a manga/anime artist to do pencil work and possibly some inking as well. This is a new comic company with plans to release their first manga in 2007 to the Japan market; US and Europe to follow.

You can follow the link for the contact info. I did a Google search and came up with this, which may or may not be the company in question.

So here’s a question that relates to the issue in the previous post: If a British company produces a comic for the Japanese market, using non-Japanese talent, would you call it manga?

  1. If a British company produces a comic for the Japanese market, using non-Japanese talent, would you call it manga?

    I would, since I tend to define manga as being “comics initially intended for the Japanese market.” Personally, I think this definition leads to far fewer “So is this title manga?” situations.

  3. i’m ready and willing to draw for your company, and i have a plotline of my own to use if needed be. please write me a response!!!

  4. Hi everyone,

    I just thought I’d try to kindly point out that no one at this site is looking to hire a manga artist. The entry is linking to someone who is seeking a manga artist. I recommend you visit those links and find out what that person needs.

  5. Thanks, Lyle. You beat me to it.

    Also, this post almost a month old, so the job may be taken. But good luck!
