Manga Burnout? - Sep 13, 2007 - 10:19am
Nice points, but it must be realized that Manga and Anime are a form of media, just like movies, books, and magazines. Sure it has experience quite a boom recently, but if you look at Japan, manga has been going strong for 50 years now, and it is part of their lives. In the States it is getting easier for people to obtain manga and anime, which is an explanation of the boom. If you look back to when movie theaters where first created, you will see close to the same trend. Very nice points, and also, ppayne is right about the Tankobans (it is usually a book with 6-12 chapters from a single story, and usually has some cool cover art).
