Bringing Japanese Manga Education to the World
A Place Where Anyone Can Learn from Professional Japanese Manga Artists
MANGA DOJO Online is a live online manga school where students can learn directly from professional Japanese manga artists.
We created this platform because we believe manga is more than just a drawing style.
Our mission is to make authentic Japanese manga education accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world.
Born from MANGA DOJO Tokyo
MANGA DOJO Online was created from our in-person manga studio in Tokyo:
MANGA DOJO Tokyo
Since opening in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, in March 2025, we have welcomed and taught more than 3,500 students per year through hands-on manga workshops.
Our students range from:
Young beginners drawing manga for the first time
Hobby artists looking to improve their skills
Aspiring professional creators
International visitors passionate about Japanese manga culture
Students travel from all over the world to learn directly from our instructors in Japan.
Sharing Manga Around the World
Our activities extend far beyond Tokyo.
Over the years, we have organized manga workshops at international events and conventions, including:
Anime Expo (Los Angeles)
Anime and Comic Conventions across Europe
International cultural exchange events
Educational programs and manga workshops worldwide
At these events, we repeatedly heard the same request:
“I wish I could continue learning after this workshop.”
“I want to learn from Japanese manga artists without traveling to Japan.”
“I want ongoing guidance from professional creators.”
These conversations inspired us to create something bigger.
Why We Created MANGA DOJO Online
We wanted to build a place where students could receive authentic manga education directly from professional Japanese manga artists—regardless of where they live.
Whether you are in New York, London, Paris, Sydney, or anywhere else in the world, MANGA DOJO Online allows you to join live classes and learn directly from working professionals in Japan.
Because our classes are live, students can:
Ask questions in real time
Receive direct feedback from instructors
Share their artwork with classmates
Improve alongside a global community of manga creators
This is not a pre-recorded course.
It is a real classroom experience with real manga artists.
Our Vision
Manga is one of Japan’s most influential cultural exports.
But we believe manga should not only be something people read.
It should also be something people create.
We envision a future where the next generation of manga creators emerges not only from Tokyo, but from cities and towns all around the world.
MANGA DOJO Online exists to help make that future possible.
Learn Manga from Japan, Wherever You Are.
Join a global community of creators and learn directly from professional Japanese manga artists.
