Learning how to draw would be a start.

Lol, yeah being able to draw would be good. There are a lot of sites online that will help you learn how to draw manga characters. Just google it. =) You should also try to come up with a good storyline and practice your writing. Fans who make mangas often worry too much about how it looks rather than what it's about. Some animes/mangas are horribly drawn but they are excellent because the story grips people and they can care about the characters regardless of what they look like.

When I was in high school I used to be fanatic about making my own, and there were a couple points I had to learn through (much) criticism of some people; drawing yes, storyline yes, but moreso that you can't make a manga for everyone without a lot of tough work. I'd pick your favorite genre of movie/reading types, and then just make up a story on random moments of the day. This allows your subconscious innovation to grow so that making good storyline isn't hard and you can focus on extra things. Carry a notebook and take quotes and things from your day and make it a manga. when you do this, make things plenty more exaggerated, more comical(or serious depending on what type of genre you want to be good at,) and make a storyline that is dramatically epic without adding too many minutes in between how long the event really was. and let me read the outcome ^^).

Ok, first, you gotta have SOME drawing talent (followed by extensive lessons). Second, you gotta make sure you make the comics going the LEFT way (get it? 'cause manga read right to left, not left to right... yeeeaaaah... small joke... REEEAL small). Third, make sure you actually know what your drawing. You muse SEE the manga IN the paper! You must REMOVE what DOESN't belong (Whoops, that would be sculpting lessons--oh well, it's the same principle). -Gondorf the 5th-
