[edit] Historical Definitions
The following term dates to January 1998 in anime fandom:
Generally, manga-kas have a team of one or more assistants to help with
the production of their manga. Assistants are usually responsible for
drafting, inking, screentone, sound effects, cutting and pasting,
typesetting dialogue, taking photographs, and doing research.
In the manga industry, potential assistants are frequently asked to submit
their own manga first. Once selected, skills are passed onto the assistant
over a number of years, not unlike the master-apprentice relationship to
traditional Japanese art. After learning the ropes from a pro, many
assistants go on to create their own manga, and their styles often
resemble that of their mentor. However, some assistants of a highly
proficient level present themselves as a "studio", which denotes
"consultants" more than "assistants" or "apprentices".[1]
