I got in contact with Freelance illustrator Sonia Leong. (Through this link: http://www.fyredrake.net/me.html ) She works at Sweatdrop Studios which is known for making manga comics in the UK. I was surprised to find that she has no control over the translation of her manga comic work and leaves it to the ownership to handle how the product is seen overseas, she would still get royalties from any publishers outside the UK.
I believe she doesn’t have an agent, don’t quote me on that but she remains proof that having a strong inter-web presence does work well for job opportunities. She told me that “Publicity is something that you have to peg away at on many fronts and it could take years for the results to roll in”. She was also gracious enough to send me this very amusing link in regards to dealing with unpleasant clients and how it’s good to know the warning signs with experience: http://clientsfromhell.net/
