For People looking for Manga Schools

[MangaKaMokuteki]

Hi everyone! I noticed that someone wanted to know about manga art schools in Japan. I know this information as it took me years to find. I found it by chance on some forum ;D so I would like to post that info for anyone who is interested!


Visa notes: The schools listed below will not be able to provide student visas as they are all specialty, trade and technical schools. Students wishing to attend them will probably be able to go under a Japanese language or other cultural visa. I have not seen tuition rates for any of the schools for quite some time.

I looked for the tuition fees at one of the website of a school in japan www.tag.co.jp/tokyo/admission/expenses.html Well I'm honestly confused, because it says that it's 84 million yen which if you converted into euros you get around 765 405 euros. Maybe I'm wrong or maybe in Japan they have huge salaries and huge tuitions. Lol If someone knows pls share your knowledge

感謝 ( thanks)
