Story/script writer.

Glados is a bitch. She made me kill the companion cube, the only friend I'll ever have. 😢

every options are illegal, but the last one is the least painful 😃

ps: nevermind, i thought you meant as in a scanlating group, but it seems to aim toward original manga creators....i still stand by the last option though...

every options are illegal - explain...

appearently creating manga is against the law

well anyway i'd be a writer

Even though it's my poll suggestion i can't choose definitively. It's between a translator, artist or script writer. Good stories equals good reading but sometimes bad art will affect that. It's hard to come up with something unique but rewarding when you do.
Artist - like the creative side, but script writing too is creative just not the visual type.
Translator - probably work with the mangaka to get what they their work to flow like, learn or develop a language skill...

So out of the two it'll be script writer, or translator.... I'll go with writer.

i could be the artist 😛

i'd rather be story/script writer, I'm always having weird stories pop into my head.

🙄 refer to post-script from previous post for questions

The Deviant

story/script writer
What makes a manga a good manga is the storyline with the art supporting it, and since I can't draw (as of the moment I write this), I'd like to make a story for a manga.

Translator, definitely - if only I was fluent in Japanese! (Working on that, though...)

I'm not creative enough to write the story/script, can't draw worth a darn, & don't think I'd be much good as editor, publisher or advertiser. I love words, and I think it would be fun (though of course not easy) to work on getting a translation that was faithful to the original and yet sounded natural in English as well.

Translator. Cause that's what I'm doing right now and I'm loving my job. XD

Well, I chose editor, but I'm really not 100% sure of what the job entails...

I just know that I'm obsessive over the "normal" definition of editing (word choice, grammar, etc), so I thought it'd be the best choice... However, manga editing is probably much different than story editing...

i'd just read the manga for fun, but other than that i'd be a translator...too bad i'm just an ammateur at japanese 😢 i only know english and spanish fluently, and i'm just starting in french and latin.

Story/Script Writer. Because I can think of random scenarios that would look good in manga (in fact, I have been thinking about writing down a few, hm). I am/was a translator (English--->Polish, my two native languages) and it sucked, taking up too much of my time. I wouldn't even want to know how long it would take for me to translate from Japanese 🤢
