i got that mangaka book that i mentioned in a previous post and its really good, as well as showcasing the illustrations of various american 'manga' artists they ask them about how they got to where they are today and give tutorials and advice for aspiring illustartors such as myself.
one interesting thing is that the book raises a debate between the artists over whether american manga style comics should be considered manga. some of the illustarators copied the style of manga to produce their works and consider them to be manga, otheres don't and they consider there works as comics. the japanese appaerently call american mang 'nissei comi' meaning something like fake or inferior... i think, but basically negative.
