Quote: Svetlana Chmakova's "DramaCon 2nd Volume"

"Applying This logic to something else we all know and love...a pizza is not a pizza unless it's baked by an Italian in Italy yes?."

That is a beautiful book, and More and more Americans’ are creating very beautiful artworks. Drama con is about a girl named Chrissie who goes to an anime convention for the first time with her boyfriend and she goes threw alot! it's a really cute manga, and it's a shojo of course hense the name Drama con Hee hee ^w^

It's not like it's a sin to write American manga...they just better not be left to right or someone's going to get hurt

I personally don't read it, however

American-manga? All I can think of is Mega Tokyo, though thats more like a web-comic then a manga...However, it IS now being realeased in japan. It's funny, cute, and has a tiny, tiny bit of romance (as much as a web-comic possibly could). Go look for volume 1

It just doesn't feel as original and will never beat traditional, Japanese manga.

I am one of those that believes comics are made in America and manga are made in Japan.

I read manga because I like what's Japanese about it, such as their views on society, education, religion etc. and I think if an American has lived in Japan and wants to bring that into their work as a manga then great, but what's not great is just copying someone else.

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.

Thinking about it, what is Manga style?

I mean you have your stereotypical manga style with your big eyes, bad hair, schoolgirls and robots, but when you read manga such as that by Yoshihiro Tasumi ("Pushman and other stories", "Abandon the old in Tokyo"), there's actually no manga stereotypes in it at all.

There's another book called "Japan as viewed by 17 creators", and the French entries aren't very manga-like but then neither are the Japanese entries. So what makes some manga and not others?
