If you can speak Japanese it would be much easier for you.
2 :
yes especially if you dont speak japanese.
3 :
Speaking Japanese would help! If you want to get more familiarized with Japan, go to http://mtangproductions.wordpress.com! I think it'll will come in handy for you:) good luck!!
4 :
Well, you definitely have to learn the language first. The rest will be easy I guess. There are colleges that offer fashion courses, while there are concentration schools (senmongakko) for that, too. Most concentration schools take 2 years, while colleges take 4. You need to make a portfolio.
5 :

Sometimes schools will have special exams for foreign students to take (in Japanese) for entrance. Some schools have English brochures, but still require at least a (old test) JLPT 2. With the new test, I don't know how this changes, as I've heard it's much easier to pass now. Some schools will require a JLPT 1. Consider this: You will need to understand everything your teacher says as well as any textbooks or materials you have. They will all be at a college level of Japanese proficiency. And unlike the US or other diverse countries where we're used to working with foreign students to help them succeed, your classmates and teacher might resent you if you aren't picking up the material fast enough or ask a lot of questions.

Wow you are good i just love all of them so i give you a 30 you got talent hope you make money at it so keep on keeping on and good luck.
2 :
uhm, I think this depends on the publisher. having an online portfolio is a good thing though, you should also try to visit japan and get some japanese language skills. don't doubt your skills. you have what it takes to be a manga artist. Good luck!
3 :
yes! your creations are awsome.
4 :
It would probably depend on how old you are and how much you are willing to practive. You'd be able to take an art course with pictures like that, but you'd need to go a lot further as an artist to get into a big name college on an art course. To be horribly brutal (Don't read this is you are sensitive) , your character scale is off, you can't maintain perspective which leads to some body parts being too big and other's being too small. you're use of color and shade needs work. you also need to practice drawing free flowing clothes. Alice is good, but, for example. he eye is positioned incorrectly in relation to her hair line and the posture of her head. Others like anBu naRuTo have part of the body facing almost dead on when it should be facing much more to the side. Don't get me wrong some of this is above average and even pro artists have to start somewhere, but you'd probably not get a look in on a competitive art course. Just keep practicing, it's all that anybody can do.
5 :
I'd give you an 8 to 9. You've obviously got abilities (and I read your notes and am sorry you're having computer and tablet problems!) I would suggest that you keep practicing and try to develop your own style. But these really are good.
6 :
I'll give them an eight. Let me just say when you talk about any illustration art, there are issues of craft not settled by photoshop and other computer programs which a gouache painting might settle. If I were doing a portfolio I would include both actually. Especially for a school rather than a publisher.
7 :
I give you a ten. You're real good and you're only 14. You can and will get in, you have talent. And what's this? They have ANIME school in Japan? I did NOT know that.
8 :
You defiantly have talent :) If you love it enough its defiantly worth going for! I give you a 6 or 7
9 :
it looks good enough too me
10 :
i think you are deffinatley at the standard of many manga artists and anime artists already going in japan, so im sure you would be able to get in.
11 :
Good. Like a 8.

How long is a school day in Japan

How long is a school day in Japan?

It depends on each school. Colleges have longer days than elementary school.
2 :
Really, you never know. They have different schedules. Starting the school year, they'll come home much earlier. Then there are club activities. For reference, my oldest daughter leaves at about 7AM and comes home at about 7PM. That includes her club activity. She's in a private school and has about a 45 minute commute/walk each way. The younger leaves at about 8AM and gets home around 4/5PM, depending on club activities. The younger goes to a cram school 3 days a week, which means getting there at 7PM and staying until after 10PM. Summer vacations have summer homework. This is due to the fact that they change grades in the spring. So they are busy even during their vacations. Plus, the cram schools go into overdrive during that period, so even more work to be done. As has been pointed out, the colleges here are time for many to just goof off. They did their time in elementary, junior and senior high school, plus the cram schools. Not to say they all goof off, there are the doctors, dentists, etc, but for many, just goof off time.

In the first grade Japanese children spend 5.5 hours on average in school per day. The school day lengthens as children progress through elementary school, with fifth-graders spending an average of seven hours in school. The seven-hour school day persists throughout middle and high school.
4 :
5 hours or so
5 :
It really depends on the school and school year. For example, Elementary School students would typically start from 8:00 am and finish between 3 and 4pm. First graders are younger so usually go home straight after lunch. In JHS most kids have club so can be at school from about 7:00 am in the morning and finish at 6:00 pm. We used to have school at JHS on Saturdays but they have stopped this recently.
6 :
What's with you people who ask such unspecific questions? Are people supposed to guess what you're really asking? Or are they supposed to write a 5000 word essay that covers all the possibilities? God. Public Elementary school: 8:30-3:30, usually with club activities tagged on til 4:30-6:00. Monday to Friday.
7 :
Sometimes it even varies by day. When I was in high school, Mondays and Thursdays ended at 4PM, then I had club activities until 6PM. Wednesday was over at 3PM, but sometimes we had an assembly afterwards, and club activities started at 4PM and lasted until whenever. Tuesdays were weird because classes were over at 3:00, but then we had to do our duties (cleaning the classroom, working in the library, etc.) until 4:00, then club activities. And on Fridays we had regular classes until 4PM, but in my second year of high school we had a special research class after that so school ended at 5:30PM, then club activites started at 6PM. So it can be weird. (o_O)
