OEL U.S. Publishing Market

Me myself? So far I'm primarily, if not entirely, self-published.

However, if you like to draw Manga and live in North America, though Tokyopop, the number one publisher of OEL Manga folded, there are still places that will publish American manga-ka. Two main names that come to mind (who publish world and OEL manga) are Seven Seas and Yen Press. I'm sure they still get at least some submissions, if not a whole lot. And Self-Publishing through CreateSpace or Lulu to develop a portfolio of books is also another way to go about "breaking into" American manga.

But the most important part is that you at least try to draw every day if possible (even after your published), and put a lot of time into your drawings. Manga isn't AS hard to draw if you're willing to invest the time needed to draw the amount of detail manga requires.
