I've been drawing my own personal stories for a while now and since I started I've always wanted to publish one of stories but I live in America. Is it possible for me to be a mangaka without having to go to Japan?

You don't have to live in Japan, to become a Mangaka- but it's a whole lot easier if you do live in Japan >.<! Cause in Japan, supplies are easier to get, publishing is easier, etc. But don't give up! Because it is quite possible to become a Mangaka without living in Japan ^^.

manga is a japanese creation, so basically, yes, you have to be in Japan to make a manga. for if you make it in America it'll just be known as a comic book, even if it has all the attributes of a manga. sorry, hun, it also helps to be asian. seriously, i don't know how seriously you'll be taken, but just being brutally honesty, chicky.

Yes and No. It would be best if you did. I'm planning to go to Japan someday and become a mangaka. Good luck to you. ~
