As manga (漫画 – Japanese cartoon) experiences growing popularity out of Japan, more and more people decide to learn the techniques behind this art. Still, becoming a true manga artist may be much more challenging than it seems, as many renown mangaka (漫画家 – manga artist) went through a great deal to create insightful stories that are respected the world over.

Manga has also a very particular rhythm and narrative structure, which differ greatly from Western comics.
