It basically goes down like this....


Anything Japanese > anything American

So that kid was WRONGGG. And I'm not a fan of either manga.

But I've heard the're is some sort of "rivalry" between the two.

Sort of like the Microsoft Vs. Sony rivalry or whatever, you get the idea.

They`re two different art forms, with two different ideals. I can imagine that tastes don`t always overlap.

I can`t say I`m a fan of US comics, but that doesn`t make them any "worse" than manga. It`s all a matter of taste.

....no. You're wrong.
It's not Manga vs American Comics.
They're both comics.
The series itself (Japanese, American, Korean, German, whatever)
is all that matters.

I find American comics really cheesy... I can't take them seriously.


But manga is also a little over the top. O_o

I totally agree with you. I also HATE it when somebody doesn't say manga are comics... They are, but with a different name to it.

I like them both and think they each have a place. One is not greater than the other to me.

To me it's like a rivalry between red wine and white wine fans. There is certainly room for both in this world, and there is so much variety within the two classifications...it is really an arbitrary thing to feel like you need to "choose sides" about. Personally I am a fan of both, and plan to stay that way.

Im a fan of both and i dont think ones better than the other.
