==Creator Roles on AniDB== | |||
'''Type: Person -- Role: Mangaka/Circle''' - a person who draws manga. The word can be broken down into two parts: manga (漫画) and ka (家). The manga corresponds to the medium of art the artist uses: comics, or Japanese comics, depending on how the term is used inside or outside Japan. The -ka (家) suffix implies a degree of expertise and traditional authorship. For example, this term would not be applied to a writer creating a story which is then handed over to a manga artist for drawing. The Japanese term for such a writer of comics is gensakusha (原作者). | |||
Don't add this role to writers, who don't actually draw manga, meaning novelists (light novels or visual novels included), book writers or screenwriters are not mangaka. | |||
