What Tools Do Professional Manga Artists Use?

It's something you might to look around for. I'm in a manga class, but I we don't live in the same country. n.n()()()

Don't worry, I will. ^_^ Lol.

And I'd love to join a manga class, but I haven't heard of any around here. ;_;

My friend and I tried a community centre, but they said that there weren't such a class available. However if we can recruit more friends who interested in it as well, they can get an appropriate instructor and we can arrange the times according to our schedules, but I prefer to join an existing class =(
Maybe I'll try the newspapers next...

I was lucky, I guess. n.n() There's this little comic store in my mall, and there was an ad there for manga classes at this anime store that I had never been to. Of course, that little store went out of buisness shortly after I had signed up for the class, but the teacher moved them somewhere else. n.n() So there might be something in your area, but it's just hiding away somplace. =P

Maybe someday I'll decide I want to stay in the U.S. and teach manga classes here. n.n() *L* From the looks of it, it doesn't seem like such a bad idea.

I gave up on online tutorials, their styles usually don't look very much the way Japanese manga artists draw (looks more of American comics) =P I don't learn much from them either...
That's just my opinion though
 
They also use a special kind of paper. B4 size (Must be B4 size) Which is Blue and all. And special nib-pens, like Orange said. The special backgrounds are used with a special kind of paper that's very, very, expensive. o.O; Or you sould use less-expensive ways to do the background though. =p
