Americans have great comic books and artists, I mean stuff like Batman and Sin City is popular, so you don't have to go the manga route just to sell. Just be original, express yourself through your work.

But let's say you draw in a 'Japanese' style, and a Japanese person draws in an 'American' style. People may say your stuff is better than the Japanese persons, it may even look more like Manga than the Japanese persons, it may be better in every single way, but it just isn't Manga. Why is that a problem?

For someone in a creative field, you really need to get some thicker skin.

DO NOT tell me to go away. DO NOT tell me I have a one-track mind. DO NOT tell me I do not have an open mind. You asked for my opinion and you got it. I will not apologize for not sharing yours, but I didn't say ANY of the things you are accusing me of.

Cool down.
