this is probly a stupid question, but do the authors of manga always do the art for the manga?

It is the most common scenario, but manga authors don't always do the manga. An example is the Hikaru no Go manga, which is drawn by Takeshi Obata and but written by Yumi Hotta.

Right. If you look on the cover here, it has both names listed.

Actually, the answer to that one isn't so easy. The writer (when there is a different writer) is called "gensaku" which means "creator," but "gensaku" may not only mean writer but also the original idea. In Crossbone Gundam, Yoshiyuki Tomino is given the "gensaku" credit, and the story is obviously his, but he probably didn't write the script for the manga. What seems to have happened is the mangaka took Tomino's treatment for a proposed TV series and made a manga from it. In Utena, the group Be-Papas created the general idea of Utena, then the group went on to work on the anime. Chiho Saito basically did the manga on her own. She said in an interview that she herself didn't know whether the world Utena lived in was real or in Utena's mind until she first saw the anime. One of Kia Asamiya's first manga was a fantasy manga where there was a small group of writers who wrote the scripts for him, but in the middle of the second volume, the group of writers broke up leaving Asamiya and the editor to figure out how to end the series by themselves. One of the subplots of the manga Itsu-demo Yume o is about a mangaka who became a victim of her own popularity when an intrusive editor basically takes over the writing responsibilities for the mangaka even though it's her name still on the book. (The story was probably taken from life since rumors abound regarding such practices in the Japanese manga industry.) So there seems to be a whole lot of variation on just how much input a gensaku has on the manga that is eventually published. |

If there are many credits to a story, such as the Gundam SEED manga (plot: 2 people, art: 1 person), all the credits are listed as well as the part each creator played. But yeah, it all depends on the title how much each creator did.
