Sorry to demolish your thoughts but I highly doubt this PhD will play any part in becoming a Mangaka, since that is possible without any kind of degree. After all, as a Mangaka you don't get paid unless you have a series running. I believe this PhD will severely lack in practical application and the Manga Doctors will most likely be employed only by major magazines for consulting. Other than that, I don't see why you would need one. Then again, I'm not sure as to what the curriculum will be so I'll shut up for now.
This is like a PhD in literature - it would definitely have limited applications on a real job. I suppose they could go into publishing or become a mangaka afterwards... Where would you do a post-doc though?

Well, if you come out your PhD and create something like OnePiece or Naruto then I imagine you could live quite comfortably =P

I bet the dissertation for it is difficult, especially since it's a Japanese university.
