You're right though. They aren't paid very well per page, and they need to pay for their own assistants and utencils. The big bucks come from royalties from merchandise, Graphic Novel sales, and adaptions of the series in other forms of media mainly. You also get wage increase on the per page with each passing year (not sure if its from the inking of the contract onwards, or if its each year your series continues). So yeah, not much to look forward to other than manga making. Reeeeeally gotta love it.
