Yes! We’re active on Facebook and Twitter!
I am interested in obtaining a license for a particular VIZ Media property, what steps do I need to take?
Can I submit my story ideas/manga for SHONEN JUMP?
At this time we are not accepting any original content - all of the manga you see in WEEKLY SHONEN JUMP comes directly from the Japanese Weekly Shonen Jump magazine and its partners. Our office mainly licenses and distributes Japanese products, rather than publish original works. If any contests open up for original manga submissions, we’ll be sure to let our fans know via our social media channels and our websites.
How do I get my foot in the manga industry and do I need to know Japanese?
Nope, although it is helpful to know! There are many roles within the manga industry that do not require a mastery over the Japanese language. There is a multitude of information about the manga industry available online - Anime News Network and ICv2 are two great resources you can browse. For an entertaining and informative look into Japan’s manga industry, we encourage you to check out the manga, BAKUMAN。
