weekly manga sales are higher in Japan then yearly comic sales (of any kind) in america. In Japan they sell enough Gundam models for every single person in the country to have at least 3. I know you live in Japan so you probably know more then I do, but does it make sence that they make so many with such high quality if it didnt sell well? There are probably just a few that are really popular that everyone has seen and the rest still sell incredibly well but just among otaku, who probably try to keep there obsessions secret. |

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? |
