BishopFrenzy:I don't understand why people complicate it so much.
Manga is just the Japanese word for comic. If people didn't insist on calling it "manga" instead of just describing them as comics that happen to be from Japan, there'd be less of this bizarre mindset that it's somehow a different genre. You don't see a French comic and go "all comiques are stupid because they have giant eyes and blushing cheeks and they are for kids".
Condemning an entire set of comics based purely on their geographical point of origin is pretty, well, ignorant. If you haven't found a Japanese comic you like, you haven't looked hard enough, because there's thousands of them.
Hahaha well said!
