I’m an aspiring mangaka, (working on my first project) I’m just curious if anyone knows any websites or anything where Mangakas can find other Mangakas and chat, socialize or maybe even local to my area so we can meet up and network? Looking more for a friend space then an immediate business space 4k1h5i

Attend cons. You'll often see other independent young writers and artists hawking their wares.

good question!

i occasionally see comics creators/mangaka and other kinds of creatives on LinkedIn; it may be worth a try!

best of luck!
