It's probably a good idea to just be Japanese, or at least Korean. Manga isn't considered manga if it isn't Asian...it's a wannabe manga or a comic book. Hiyamura-sensei, the man who created Hetalia, started it in New York and released it online. If you want actual tankoban, it is easier to live in Japan so you can have an editor (he moved to Japan after a while).

Yea, you have to be Japanese because manga is - Japanese comic books. So you can make a cartoon in the US and make it look like anime. So then you can have the best cartoon ever. lmao !
3 :
You don't HAVE to live in Japan. There's quite a handful of OEL manga artists around, and they're not Japanese. It might sell if your name seems Japanese/Chinese/Korean. I just think that if something is good, then I don't care what nationality or where the artist is from.

no
5 :
no but it helps if you know japanese just submit stuff to magazinese and use a japanese pen name most of the time the publisher will only see you so people won't know your not japanese

what is the 3D technology used in Hatsune Miku live in Japan

what is the 3D technology used in Hatsune Miku live in Japan?
is that just a 3D flat image performed on a transparent screen? In that case, it will look very flat and strange if we look at it from a acute (maybe less than 45 degree) angle but not 90 degree, won't it?

After doing a little reseach I've determined that the music videos for Hatsune Miku are not projected in real life and recorded with a camera. It is a CG model added to videos, so there is no screen technology at work. You are correct to wonder why an acute angle does not change the shape, it's because it does not use a real display. As for real 3D technology that performs similar functions it has to have multiple perspective 3D to work properly from different angles. Holograms can create such an effect but the problem is that they only work when recording real life objects and are difficult to produce for moving images and for large images. Holografika has created a display that demonstrates linear parallax but they do't have big enough displays to display a person and the skeweing angle would be visible if the viewers are offset from display in a direction perpendicular to the parallax effect (like on a stage). I wrote a book about another potential way to create volumetric 3D and 4D images but of course I just wrote it so it does not exist as a technology yet. Other options are integral imaging (which is like lenticular lens technology), but that only has a limited series of viable viewing angles. None of these technolgoies have yet devloped enough to create the appearance of a 3D human sized image from any angle.

If you have a lot enough of money to live in Japan,I guess it would be more than US$5000/month at least, you don't need to work there of course and as American citizen, you can stay there upto 90days without any visa in advance in Japan as far as you don't have any criminal record before.
2 :
You can only stay there 90 days on a tourist visa. You just can't go there and stay. They want to know why you are there.You would have nothing but problems if you tried to stay there without working.Many Japanese landlords won't rent to non-Japanese. And then those that do will want two or three months rent in advance, plus a month or two of key money.If you want to stay more than 90 days, it's not going to be easy.Maybe if you have a 6 figure check-book.
3 :
You need any kind of visa to stay in Japan for more than 90 days, no matter how much money you have. If you have more than $30,000, you can apply for a Japanese language school in Japan and they will arrange student visa for you. By $30,000, I meant its tuition and living cost.
4 :
Let's see, japan is more expensive then america so you'll need more money in japan known as "yen" If you want decent job, you will probably have to learn japanese language. Living in japan is great when you have friend's living with you or family but if your going to live by yourself. It might be scary and lonely because your the only one who is different like if you were the only austrailian and there was a country full of asian's.

There are many features about Japan that affect the way they live. Such as the fact that its an island. Which means they can have a limited diet such as rice and mostly seafood. Also they way they live, such as their homes and buildings are built in a certain way in case of deadly earthquakes or typhoons.
