I have many french friends going to Japan to work for animation. They are all excited about the work, but foreigners are not very well accepted in the japanese society if you plan to stay a while. Interesting.

But most Japanese book stores tend to hang very faithful copies of original art in their manga sections. You can make out the text paste ups, the blueline, the cuts of the screen tone (Assuming the artist is still using tone and not Photoshop) and if the copy is really good, you can see the blue pencil under the art. But yeah, nothing is as good as original art. You can look at it and go, "Wow! Even Tezuka screwed up drawing hands occasionally. I feel much better about my own mess-ups now."
