Click here for the full episode: (still uploading) New to 'MAILBAG!' ?? Mailbag is the weekly show from How to BAM where we answer the questions from our viewers about making manga. This week we answered the following mangaka questions: Tamia Saunders writes: I'm 16 and I've been drawing for a couple of years now, and I feel myself improving but not as fast as I want to. I'm also paying more attention in my English class in order to become a better writer. I want to become a mangaka when I get older and I know it's a tough field, but I am fully dedicated and this is something I want to do as a career. So here are a few questions for you Mustayaki sensei: 1. Is it hard for a female to break in the manga business doing a shonen title? 2. Is it hard to learn about Japanese culture and to learn their language? Thanks a lot for making these inspirational videos, and I hope that you never quit doing what you're doing, because you a great inspiration to all the future mangaka from all parts of the world.
