Isn't it kinda weird? Imagine if you bought a novel from an author just to find out it was part 1 of an indeterminate amount of parts because the author hasn't finished the story yet and then you realize that's every book by ever author. Has there ever been a popular manga that was released in its completion?
A lot of great books were initially serialised, just like manga.

Because the amount of content is unrealistic to release all at once. Books do generally do that (though in the past it wasn't uncommon for books to be serialized) but they're also just text. Anime and manga require drawing as well, which is its own thing. Manga typically get 1 or 2 volumes per year, so you could say a mangaka could spend a year drawing a volume and then release it in full I suppose. Serialization keeps people hooked though. I imagine companies in the past determined that releasing a chapter a week/month kept people coming back more than releasing a volume every year. There's no guarantee people are going to wait a year and then buy the new volume.You could apply this to anime too. Why are anime generally released weekly instead of all at once? Netflix does the all at once model (or in batches, but then you could ask why do it in batches instead of all at once) and people do generally say that dripfeeding it weekly would be better for engagement. Binging is also cancer.
>>282061241>Isn't it kinda weird?No, not at all.
I feel like Fire Punch was drawn in advance. The level of detail seems way too high for a weekly. Either that, or he already completed all the storyboards and could just focus solely on drawing
>>282061241GOGO Monster was a single tankobon release

>>282061241Pretty much every story-based comic is released episodically you actual retard.
>>282062042The people that whine about weekly or monthly manga schedules (or even anime schedules) are the ones who want to binge an entire series just to say that they have. I've seen several threads or posts too by people who think a series is too long if it's not possible to binge it over a day or a week. There's a thin line between this kind of behavior and reading a series at your own pace but there's a definite difference in how the people who do these two things think and act. Though I guess everyone has their own definition of what binging is. I don't think you need to watch one episode or read one chapter per week but going through a series as quickly as you possibly can often results in you not retaining any of it. And then acting retarded in threads about a series.
>>282061241How can you possibly be so ignorant that you don't know of novels that have been published exactly like that?
>>282061241they do it because suckers fall for it. you don't give your audience everything at once because then it's easy to tell if its good or if its crap before they spend money on it.
Sometimes it is.

>>282063816War and Peace, Les Miserables, quite a few of Dickens' stuff, among other things in the 1700s and 1800s. That was a popular way of distributing books back then.
