- 1). Assess your strengths. Before you put together a manga team, decide on your own role. If you can draw, you may be the artist. If you have the story idea and you need an artist to see your work produced on the page, you may be the writer. You could write and draw. You could also opt to focus on editorial, marketing or assistant work so you can more effectively lead the team.
- 2). Make a list of needed positions. The minimal manga team -- aside from doing everything yourself -- consists of a manga artist and a manga writer. You can also use an editor to help you catch mistakes and improve your ideas. Manga assistants help with manga art. For example, they may draw backgrounds and details on a page while the lead artist works on characters. Opt to have between one and three manga manga assistants on a team. A marketing manager decides how to advertise and publish your work.
- 3). Put up job postings for the positions you need. Outline the number of hours per week you would like each member to work. Outline compensation, whether you give a set fee up front or a percentage of sales later. Try job posting boards online and also boards directly related to manga and art. Also attempt to network at anime and manga conventions.
