Reminder that manga will always outsell American comics every week no matter which Big 2 company gets the upper hand

Yeah, it's pretty easy to market tripe to chink peasants.

good
comics are shit

Thread/

Yeah Manga's not doing well either but it's marketed as train literature in a country where commuting by train is a big part of life.

they why aren't cape comics selling there?

They are racists.

Only the mangakas and animators are westaboos.

Sup Forums will simultaneously argue that box office success means the everything Disney releases is good, but then someone makes a thread like this and suddenly great sales figures are proof that asians are gullible retards and manga is disposable trash.

Cool, I'll make sure to stop reading comics right away.

That's okay.
They don't compete with each other really.

The Mouse owns all

Japanese comics are tailored towards eastern tastes. Western comics are tailored towards western tastes. Not rocket science.

back to Sup Forums you psycho

>Reminder that manga will always outsell American comics every week
Not for long since the child protection law thingy will ban anything sexual with anything that looks like a child even though she's a 500 year old vampire with a loli body

Gotta love them american puritan influence in other countries

When?

I would love to see the butthurt on Sup Forums.

Those people deserve suffering.

Manga is typically disposable. The anthology magazines are made with cheap newsprint so they can sell more for less and people don't typically collect those. Honestly it's a superior business model.

>I would love to see the butthurt on Sup Forums.
that would be the case 5 years ago
now Sup Forums is fujoshi and bara central along with animal fuckers

>it's another Sup Forums got lost again and tries to fit in on Sup Forums episode
literlaly worst than faggots that forces "boku no shit" is good and make threads about it on co

The law means that you can't sell porn to minors.

Until 2014 you could own CP. Not make it but own it. Now you can't sell porn to minors at all.

Japan will never outright ban loli, they Will sweep it under the rug for the Olympics. But when gaijin go, the delcious cake will show.

I'm glad one piece is so successful so i can feel ok about stealing it

also wish there was a place to discuss it while i'm catching up but nothing sperfect

they actually snuck a provision there which bans loli due to the pressure of the olympics and america there was a thread on Sup Forums and Sup Forums a few months ago about it but it seems that everyone has moved on or forgotten about it

If you are a westerner then it's okay to pirate anime and manga.

1) the industry gets 8% of its income from ALL foreign markets. a good 90% of that volume or blue ray goes to the localizer.

2) no one cares.

Why do you like spreading half truths to fool faggots. Does it make your tiny pee pee stand up?


"; article 2, section 3,,,
The public sale and distribution of pornographic material including but not limited to, manga, animation, illustration, print, scale models etc. That feature sexual or questionable acts involving minors is to be prohibited during public multinational events hosted by Japan I.e. summer Olympics, winter Olympics, worlds fairs, G8 summits, etc. At such a time when the event has reached its conclusion, the temporary prohibition shall be lifted in accordance with the laws.;"

m8 check again in the one where those islands with china are involved

To be fair, Sup Forums is really fucking stupid about Disney, and smart about this. Everyone has their blind spots, user.

Manga is shit but Manga DELIVERS. It's fun for the kids, has many pages, action, blood, pretty girls, pretty boys.
Comics are boring next to manga.

>sells more volume in a much smaller market
>lol, doesn't count because I said so

Oh you mean ryujukin. The island that has the last population of the native Japanese, the aniu people.

Did you know that the prefecture in question also has laws on thier books banning sake and making it illegal for star in JAV.

As we all know the Japanese do not drink And thier women have never seen a penis.

Oh and in the Japanese constitution it disallows for one prefectures laws to be enforced in another, unless the prefecture passes the same law.

In Japan in order to get the nation to all follow a new law you need to things. For it to be majority approved by the diet and for it to receive the imperial seal.

Things that the child protection act has. And was passed in 2014. If it banned loli then I sure as he'll wouldn't have such a sandpanda backlog of new scanned content.

/thread

I would still rather get color artwork

That however is to be seen. The Japanese may one day ban lolicon and indeed all porn all together.

Sex is a big part of the Japanese culture and mindset don't get me wrong. Living in Glorioua Nippon I've seen it first hand. But it's more then me so horny stereotypes. Its like how in the west ethos and ideals of the Greeks and Romans resonate heavily with us. The concept of sexuality and it's benefits not the act itself resonates with the Japanese.

Sex is viewed as a part of life and to be enjoyed amused at. But at the same time it's a big no no to talk about sex you've had. Its like how we can recognize the cool factor of having a big house and a great car. But if you show it off for no reason your a doucebag.

Maybe if they ban porn they'll actually start fucking again and have more kids

>that dark future where everything is owned by either Kadokawa or Disney
I should write a big Morrison style epic that shit, the Great Eastern Empire vs The Mouse Corporation.
btw Zero fucks given about the death of western comics, they honestly deserve it, both capes and indies alike.

>manga is disposable
It is though, that's why it's winning, you can't beat those prices, have you tried buying a TPB and a takoobon recently? Compare the price tags, I remember that even one of those big Gundam the Origin releases was cheaper that two soft covers TPBs of Transmetropolitan, and had way more pages, plus interviews, covers and extra art.

True
But American Cartoons will always outsell japanese animes

>Implying Disney doesnt own japan already

I'm just wondering if Sup Forums realizes that single video games sometimes outsell the entirety of marvel and dc combined gta 5 alone sold more than the entire comic book industry the year it came out no one reads comic books at most comics top off at about 100k sales which is fucking pathetic in any other medium that would be indie success not mainstream success

I'm not going to speak for Sup Forums, but that's retarded. But I'll speak for myself, and I go on Sup Forums about ten times as much as Sup Forums.

Yeah, I know that single vidya AAA megahits will outsell the entire comic industry. (And it doesn't even have to be AAA at this point, given Minecraft's success.)

Honestly, I find the cultural impact of comics to be entirely disproportionate. The stats tell me that so few people buy and read these stories firsthand, and given traffic estimates on storytimes, the same holds true secondhand. I'm trying to figure out what the fuck is going on here by reading the original stories.

Some of them are powerful. Some of the original stories, including a lot of what the MCU takes direction from, were... actually really fucking weak. And I've seen some really talented and intelligent folks that I never would have suspected read comics praise plotlines I thought were utter crap.

I read comics because, up until the current clickbait age, they pleasantly confused me. Now I'm just plunging through the backlog of old stories. Simonson's Thor is fucking amazing.

But never the good ones. Have fun with worse taste than us.

I hope they put Berserk on Comixology.

>traffic estimates on storytimes

If you're referring to the IP counter in storytime threads, then keep in mind that about 90% of 4chans userbase only lurks and never posts.

I don't believe it.

Yeah, it's not high quality stuff like Big Two cape shit right

One Piece sold over 6,500,000 books in the first six months of 2016 alone.

How many books did Batman sell?

Why is everyone talking about manga being popular because of loli when the best selling manga is an all ages pirate adventure story that never sexualizes child characters and whose "attractive" characters could show up in a pg movie?

Nah, that will not happend.

>an all ages pirate adventure story that never sexualizes child characters

In Soviet One Piece, child sexualizes YOU

Japan has more no life neckbeards than the USA, hence why the declining population.
American comics still lead to the most profitable franchises, anime movies and anime can't even touch capeshit or cape merchandise.

Hey now, wanting to impregnante Horo with my cubs doesn't mean I'd fuck a real wolf.

Stop crossboarding nigger.
Go back to weebland.

>Japan has more no life neckbeards than the USA, hence why the declining population.

I wish the whole world was like Japan

>wanting to fuck whoro the wolf jew

Thats because theres way more virgins in japan. Which is why theyre dying off.
Also one piece is garbage. That faggot needs to learn how to draw.

I wish mother Africa was like Japan.

Fuck considering they love animoo it shouldn't be hard to spread it. Someone get Sup Forums and Sup Forums on this.

>Being gay

The western world is
Thats why theyre encouraging immigration to the west and japan from 3rd world countries :)

>Being a furry

Better gay than a furry

>This country's population is declining
>Let's import vast numbers of people from different cultures who breed like rabbits at a fucking Barry White concert

Well, the population would go up. There's that.

I wish west was like japan in virgin thing. It would be not so bad.

I'm sure american comics would be more profitable if they were sold on cheap toilet paper and all the backgrounds became nothing but lines whenever two people fought.

>Having taste this shit

>Also one piece is garbage

objectively wrong

Wow they just give no fucks about perspective over there huh?

>it's another Sup Forums tries to prove they're better than Sup Forums thread

>Reminder that manga will always outsell American comics every week no matter which Big 2 company gets the upper hand

That's not a challenge. Tex Willer handily outsells Batman, and that with Italy having a population of sixty millions vs the US's 323 millions.

Globally, the the real one true final destination ultimate challenge is being as terrible at making and selling comics as the Americans, really.

There's no "trying", the truth is blatantly obvious.

is there a reason naruto mt rushmore is so haphazard looking?

top kek

Ninja magic.

How holo is furry?

And then Sup Forums tries to tell that they are better than Sup Forums

We can barely distribute our books here what makes you think it's any better overseas?

because apparently japanese people like cheap tripe so comic books should be right up their alley

It's to get people to buy the collections once the volumes/arc or series is done.

That way even if you're only reading 1 thing you want/like, there's a chance something else will hook you and you'll eventually buy 2 things instead of 1.

Literally only western comics I buy anymore are Usagi Yojimbo, Hellboy and Moon Knight, what has happened to comics.

if you want some more variety in western comics try looking at smaller american publishers and course if you haven't already check out european comics

The only thing cheap here is DC's terrible marketing.

I never really know what i'm looking for with European comics. I usually wait for recommendations since I'm not sure where I can find information about most things.

threat currently up

also when it comes to the most popular european comics like say Tintin and Asterix just pick any book and you're set for quality

You are saying that like a good thing, but I gonna agree with you with One piece, is a good comic and it almost like a western cartoon.

Why don't you read manga user? If you did you wouldn't make stuff like this up.

The US comic market is a business-to-business model which only allowed for unstructured feedback from customers at the best of times while the Japanese market is a business-to-customers model with a transparent, tight feedback loop that takes both numeric and qualitative values into considerations.

The Japanese also have editors that are charged with making the product at the very least more sellable while in the US, an editor's job is clearly to maximize the reader's frustration and anger at the product.

Trying to sell capeshit there would get you laughed out of the market by customers.

>Asterix
>just pick any book and you're set for quality

I, like many other fans, choose to ignore the falling sky happened

for the rest, they're all at the very least decent

The one with the parisean feminist that made all the women watch fashion shows all day every day was tacky as hell as well.

Especially for a series that dedicated a whole book to making fun of modernist architecture and city planning.

>boku no shit
Wait are you talking about Boku no Pico or Boku no Hero Academia? Or some other thing that starts with boku?

Name one capeshit comic better than one piece.
Protip: you can't

How does digital fare in Japan?

I think I have an old image that may be relevant.

>even doujins outsell western comics
JUST

That's because weaboos are actually buying their stuff unlike comic book "fans" who don't read comic books and just fap to characters.

You're entitled to your opinion, but lies will not stand. We will have words, sir.

Nami has become the most useless female character ever created in wsj.
Meanwhile a shitty manga like Black Clover has his female characters fighting nonstop

Shut your fucking mouth, Boku no Corm is great.

Yes we get it you dont understand the basic premise of One Piece.

Just like every other post that its mentioned which you start this shit in.

I don't care about manga vs comics but I am interested what Sup Forums thinks on Japans take on western style influence for a manga.

So the basic premise of One piece is Nami being captured every single arc. Is she new Daphne Blake?

could never find good scans and gave up

>its an Sup Forums vs Sup Forums episode

whats the point, Sup Forums always wins the the end anyway
