What are you waiting for? How much does it cost to write a page of your debut work?

I will wait for the editor to reply to my storyboard. The manuscript fee is about 8,000 yen per page (Note: about RMB 450)

How long does it take from the time you start thinking about a story to the time you send it to the editorial department? A new cartoonist answers questions from netizens online and reveals industry insider information

I’m currently drawing romantic comedies, but when I submitted my work I was drawing battle stories, but I’m not used to it.

Is there an age limit for cartoonists? I heard that the age limit for debuting is in your 20s. If you are older, it is better not to draw, but to work on original works.

There shouldn't be any obvious restrictions, right? Of course, some editors or editorial departments may care about this, but if you have the ability, you can do both the original work and the animation.

Just talking about income, it’s probably around 8 million (about RMB 451,200) .

If a newcomer can earn so much, it should be no problem.

Taxes and assistants will take up about half of it.

I also want to be a cartoonist, and I'm currently drawing submissions. How long do you wait between submissions, and how much do you draw?

There are about 9 works that have been completed. Each one takes about 4 months, but there are also some that took 2 months, and one that took a year to complete.

It's very irregular. I may wake up and go to bed at any time and can't tell the difference between morning and night.

I feel like I can't distinguish the boundary between work and rest.

Some people can make the distinction very well, but I don’t have that kind of leeway right now. I don’t have a single day to rest.

It's like a student preparing for an exam, except that it's doing something you like, so it's a little different.

Yes, that's the feeling. There is physical pain and mental pain from being forced by the deadline, but the creation itself is not painful.
