Manga School in Japan

(Updated August 2020)

After studying at Japanese language school, there are many opportunities that will open up.

You will meet new people with similar interests, may be introduced to a new line of work or find your future partner.

One of the opportunities is that you can achieve the level of Japanese required to study in university or vocational college in Japan, along with Japanese students.

Here is an introduction to one school in Tokyo; that focuses on Art and Design!

It is called Nippon Designer Gakuin, and is situated in Shibuya, Tokyo, home of youth fashion.

At this school, you can study a variety of subjects, including:

  • Manga

  • Social Design

  • Photography

  • Interior Design

  • Comic Illustration

A high level of Japanese is required to enroll, so the website is in Japanese.

However, as the saying goes, pictures are worth a thousand words!

If you want to enroll in vocational college or university in Japan, you will need at least JLPT N2 level Japanese.

Language school will help you get there!
