Question:
I have 3 years of experience of working as an editor at a publishing company.
My Japanese is... upper-intermediate, I suppose.
Would it be possible to get a job at a manga-publishing company (be it magazines or volumes) in Japan for me? I'm just curious. I'm talking about the editor-in-chief position or anything mighty like that. I could start from the assistant.
Answer:
Jess - Good luck to you.
Anything is possible, I agree, but it is unlikely.
You could certainly get a job if you are already living here with your own visa (like permanent residence or spousal) but it is highly unlikely you will get a visa sponsored by a Japanese manga publishing house to come and live and work here.
Basically if a J-company wants to hire a foreigner and support their visa, they have to prove that no one else in Japan can do the job. Like a native english teacher. As there are thousands of people in Japan waiting for this kind of job, i think it would be probably quite unlikely.
BUT give it a shot! You never know eh! :D
