Ok we are pretty much on the same page. I didnt mean to say that it was EXTREMLEY popular and everyone in Japan is obbesessed.
All I meant to say it that random people who arent necasarily otaku will just casualy pick up a manga here and there (which now I understand is pretty much what you are trying to say too)
But I do think just that fact alone makes it HUGE in Japan (compared to the rest of the world).
I dont think there is any other country where random people will just pick up some manga casualy if they are not otaku.
Although, I do still beleive there is alot more otaku in Japan then anywhere else (but I dont think its like half the population or somthing absurd like that). They have actualy had funearals in Japan for manga charaters. There has got to be at least a little more otaku in Japan.
Now are we in agreement?
