Is there any manga where the author is different from the artist? 6g2i1n

There's a ton. Depends on what genre you're looking for.

Yes, i.e. Bakuman. What in particular are you looking for?

Not searching for anything, was just curious.

So the author is the one with the idea for the manga and the artist draws stuff?

That is usually the case. But more often it's because the manga is based off of a novel or some other medium. Like video games or movies. It's rather rare for the artist to hire an author. I think mostly because anyone can write (a lot can't write well but that's what an editor is for), but not everyone can draw well enough to get published.
