Well...I looked up those sites I was talking about, but I have to be a japanese citizen, or at least live in japanese to become a manga artist and enter one of their competitions.
Soo...becoming a japanese citizen is ALMOST the same as America, except you have to show your skill in some way to prove that you can survive on your own and what-not...So that means I need to find a REALLY high paying job that I can do...
And ideas? I can't become a doctor...because...Ermm...I'm not a doctor kind of person. I could become somebody political, but that'd be weird looking...I could become a singer, but I heavily doubt that (I don't have ANY idea what Americans like in their singers...I mean, Miley Cyrus? Taylor Swift? How are they popular!?)...actress...I could MAYBE become that...but that takes a TON of ambition for acting, which I don't have...unless I got to an audition and somehow become an actress for several movies, it's not gonna happen...
Ermm...DIRECTOR! I need to learn how to direct, first, then I think I can improve a ton from there...It's either my destiny to become a manga artist or a movie director...Because I have this certain observing eye...
What are other outstanding jobs that pay a ton? Really...I REALLY want to become a manga artist...I mean REEEAALLLYYY!! I mean, most people do, and I think if we figure this out...Muahaaahaaahh, Japan gets a rush in of American immigrants who become naturalized! >:) That'll show 'em to be so strict! >:)
That or marry a japanese guy...which...I don't think I'll do...unless in the process of naturalization something happens..What happens if you divorce said person? That'd be like...picking some random japanese off the street, marrying him for citizenship, and then divorcing him a few months after...XD Ohohoho! That's such a funny idea! No....I wouldn't do that...
So I should begin studying now...and then I can study for another 5 years in Japan, while having a really high paying and good job, and THEN I can get my citizenship, and THEN I can become a manga artist and THEN I can live my life in peace...kinda...O.o
Sounds really hard, will be really hard, but man, I have 70 more years ahead of me...or more than that...Depends on what happens, y'know.
Okay, people, these are my plans if ya want to hitch along!
Study in high school as much japanese as possible, while studying their culture bit by bit, keeping up grades in school, and improving in art (it's actually pretty easy, I've already done a majority of my plans this year...XD)
Then in college, make good grades again, get a good job, study more japanese, improve more in art, enter as many contests as possible, commission a lot of stuff, study more japanese culture, take japanese classes
Then get a high paying job, which is why you went to the college of your choice with your minors and what-not (or go to an art college or something, or get a PHD or something), study more japanese, take more individual classes that fit into your time, pratice more art in free time, study more japanese culture, and try to make a HUGE savings account
Move to japan, begin naturalization process, find same job (better or a bit worse, but still really good), keep that job, know as much as you can to finish naturalization process, and become a citizen!
That'd probably take you until you're....in your early 30's...I don't think I would care since Naoko Takeuchi was around her 30's when she started and I have not dream to become a young manga artist, as long as a become one...
I guess the latest I could become one in my 70's...buuuutt....I've never heard of a manga artist that old and still working...O.o
So, do you think it's possible!? COME OTAKUS! LET'S WORK TOGETHER TO BECOME THE BEST!
Actually, thinking about this kinda makes me depressed...all that hardwork...TT^TT I'm too lazy!! TT^TT
