Otaku Dictionary: Mangaka


Noun
1) A manga artist, someone who draws manga professionally.
NOTE: The occupation of a mangaka is extremely stressful, and those in the occupation are prone to physical injuries in both the hands and the back (from bending over too much), not to mention extremely stressful. Mangaka also often do not get enough sleep, etc. It's a hard job.
(disclaimer over ^-^)
It's also obscenely hard to find pictures of mangaka in person. Left is Yana Toboso (Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler) and Hiromu Arakawa (Fullmetal Alchemist)
