Does the detail in a manga affect the mangaka's payment?


The series like **_Vagabond_** , **_Vinland Saga_** , **_Ichigo Mashimaro_** ,
**_Made in Abyss_** , **_Planetes_** , **_I am Hero_** , **_Gantz_** ,
**_Inuyashiki_** , and **_Yotsubato_** have such a surrealist and detailed
background style. Did they get paid more than a regular one? Or the wages for
every chapter they made are same with the other mangaka?

"These" mangaka have put a lot of effort for like adding detail to the
background and such, the character, the environment, and so. I know other
manga had some detail for their own style like _Akame ga Kill_ , _Toriko_ ,
_One Piece_ , _Yu-Gi-Oh!_ (in this context, the monster illustration in all of
_Yu-Gi-Oh!_ cards).

Compare it with "other mangaka", I thought they should get paid more but, but
did they?




Found something on search, I will try to make an answer out of it.

From the way it's seems, it's all depends on the contract, so as to the
question "does good art makes it better" seems kinda far, since we see less
good drawn manga that's getting much more money only on being popular. **The
artist might claim to his publisher that his art is very high and all, but in
the end it's depends on the publisher to agree** , the artist needs the
publisher more than the publisher needs him, being mangaka is a gamble - in
the end it's the popular ones who gets more money on selling volumes than
increasing art quality.

[My most claim is that it isn't mentioned in that article anything related
about the art, at the end of things he says that even the popular ones doesn't
get much, it's hard to say that a better drawn manga will bring his author
more money, manga business is all about popularity after all. But the author
_might_ demands to get paid more because of that, but in the end it's all end
up on the publisher decides, and in most cases it'll be - lets see if this
manga will work out if any.]
