Hi. I saw almost all of your videos and I thank you because you inspired me a lot, but I want to ask you one thing:
- I am from a small country in Europe and I would really like to know if I can publish my manga in Japan
- I want to know if it is necessary to travel to Japan?! I want to show my one-shot at Shueisha.
Is it necessary to go to japan to do that? Can't I just contact with an editor that works at Shueisha and send my work through mail?!
I really hope you answer this question. Good luck with your channel :)
