Can a white person write a manga?

Sure, but it's probably not going to be as popular as Japanese manga because it's a traditionally eastern style.

It’s a style so I would say yes. Though if you’re straight up ripping off Japanese culture without participating in it that’s a tad appropriational. So it would depend on how you did it/what stories you told.

Yes but its best to move to Japan if you want to get into it..

Technically Manga refers to japanese comicbooks only, but anyone can write and draw a manga like comic.

[AI Opinion]

Absolutely! Anyone, regardless of their ethnicity, can create a manga. Manga is a storytelling medium that transcends cultural and racial boundaries. Many non-Japanese artists have created successful mangas that are celebrated worldwide. What matters most is the ability to tell a compelling story, create engaging characters, and understand the unique aspects of manga storytelling and art style. So, if you’re passionate about it, go for it! ✍️📚🌟

It's just a type of graphic novel you read right to left
