What makes a good manga for you? - AnimeCrazy.net Forums

bobbinter · 10-30-2009, 08:32 PM

I am asking you as a manga reader,
what makes a manga a manga?

Is it that it has to be read backwards,
because some manga made outside Japan are read forewards.

Is it maybe that it needs to have a feeling of simplicity.
The drawings shouldnt be too realistic.
Some manga have started to become a bit realistic.

Is it the story?
A hardworking peasant makes it to the top.
This might be the case for alot of JUMP stories,
but manga definitely doesnt stay there for me.

Or could it maybe be that it has to be in black and white,
because some mangas have colour pages at the beginning of a few chapters.

What makes a manga a manga for you?

deep storyline plottwists make a manga?

So if a forward read comic with colour used deep storyline plottwists,
it would be a manga :0

Bob I think you can rephrase your question to "What makes a good manga for you" or something, perhaps its more clear that way
