Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

It's almost impossible to be published by Shueisha if you're not Japanese--I've actually never seen an outsider mangaka under their wing!.

Dark Horse Comics is growing fairly reputable in the states!. Here are their submission guidelines:

It's actually a very small field and it's being inundated by artists who have talent (and who don't have talent) so the chances are slim to none of getting picked up by someone!.

That leaves self publishing--which CAN be done and can get you noticed, but you'll also be competing against thousands of other artists who are also taking that route!.

It's a tight field!. Even the 'best' have trouble getting in!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
