So, reality-check, what do you do?

You don't need to be able to drawn well to draw a storyboard for a manga. It's just a quick overview of panels and their contents. If you're writing a manga, it's something you need to be able to do. Otherwise you're just writing a story and having the artist adapt it to a manga.

Storyboards can be as easy as stickfigures for people and blocks for buildings, you don't need skill for that (except for how everything will be placed on the page, angles in the panels, and the like)... if it's you and your friends, you should have one person who can think of a story, maybe someone who can draw... unless it's all of you collaborating.

I was going to bring up that the writer for Hikaru no Go, Yumi Hotta, long made mention of the fact that she did very little drawing for her own storyboards and was not the best at it. Nevertheless, I think few people would say that the writing in that story was lacking. Apologies, though, as I don't wish to start a fight about it.
