Best Answer

Before actual manga, there were Japanese painters who drew images in a sequential form, which were mostly whimsical and humorous (there were also paintings depicting Horror, erotic, etc).

At the beginning of the 20th century, when Japan was opened up to the west, American and European comics started coming in. From there on Japanese artists, influenced by western comics, began creating their own. Most were political, or were some sort of social commentary. It was also used for Propaganda during WWII. Manga continued to grow and is now what it is today.

Do manga artists need a bachelor degree?

Most manga artists in Japan submit a 'oneshot' manga piece when they are in high school. (Usually in response to some contest a magazine puts out.) After they graduate high school, they usually start a small job and then start creating a manga. If the manga does well, they quit the job and become a full time manga artist. So, no, I don't think manga artists need a bachelor degree.
