>western artist>japanese writerDo you consider these to be manga?
>>282569448>Do you consider these to be manga?Hell no. Not with a nose like that, at least.
>japanese artist>western writerThis is much better
>>282569448*spic artist
>>282569583spics are in the west, yes
>>282569599Europe is the center of the world
>>282569579I think the "make exorcist fall in love" is this
What would be your pen name as a manga writer or artist to hide your whaitu piggu heritage?
>>282569771πちゃん
>>282569579It's worse actually.
>>282569599Less so than the Japanese.
>>282569448if it was released on japan first, it countswe had korean artist before
>>282569448Yes, too bad they purged it from Mangadex
>>282569771Machete
>>282569771ふみなふみな
>>282569579Absolutely not
>>2825697711582
>>282569771The japanese reading of my chinese name just so happens to be an actual japanese name so probably that
>>282569448Shin Angyo Onshi is considered as a manga too since it was published in japan first despite having korean artist and author.
>>282569910おπちゃん
>>282573936Pretty sketchy.
>Japanese artist>Japanese writer>Western publisher>Western target audience>Never serialized in japanese magazineY/N?
>>282569579Japs are better at writing than Westerners these days.
>>282574679I imagine some 2000s era Marvel series counts for this, but none come to mind.Usagi Yojimbo is like the closest that comes to mind, but the creator was Japanese-American.
>>282569448What some retarded weeb considers manga is irrelevant. If a comic was made to be published on the japanese market by japanese publishers it's manga.
>Japanese artist>Japanese writer>Japanese publisher>Released in Japanese theaters only>No western release or translation everI won't accept anything less than this
>>282574741Another close case is Tsugumi Project - first published in France in 2019, though it was serialized in Japan in 2023
>>282574679Yes, and it's good (it was serialized in a Japanese magazine, but almost a year later)
>>282569448no, that's an abomination that belongs in the trashthe majority of western "art" these days is literally made by talentless lefties, troons, and brownoids with trash taste
>>282569579no thanks, I'd rather not have an influx of culturally enriched stories
>>282575034What happened? Show me where they touched you
>>282574679/co/shit but Akira Yoshida was a writer for mavel for a while and he wrote some decent stuff
>>282569448post a sample page
>>282574691Maybe if you're a toddler.
>>282575280
>>282569448It's a silly debate all things considered because nips use comic and manga interchangeably. I would consider it a japanese comic/manga since it's made in japan.
>>282574780replacing localizer subbing with machine translation from japan would be ideal imo
>>282575402>>282575384ehh....there are japanese manga that do look like this....it could fool someone.
>>282569448>japanese writer>western settingnow this is manga
>>282574691Not necessarily, nip writers usually have submissive and meek protagonists, the kind that always kowtow to authority until the plot demands it. Western writing would be more appealing here if it wasn't tainted by identity politics and propaganda.
>>282569448Does it matter? Is it good? All that matters. everything else is pointless shit, especially on here where spergs use it for posturing bullshit.
>>282576369Like this?
>>282576369Eastern settings kinda suck because they're high school 90% of the time.
>>282576533Kung Fu tournaments in high schools?
>>282575193No one here is gonna get that joke Anon.
>>282576369Easy there, Kojima.
>>282576580It happens a lot, especially in battle harems.
>>282574004Well, can you find any record that it run on Sunday first or Young Champ first?
>>282569448No
>>282569448I would legitimately prefer a chink writer and a nip artist with a nip editor
>>282569448is it mainly released in japan? is it written in Japanese? is the media format like manga? If the answer is yes then yes, it is manga
>>282572641>Chinesewhy are bugmen outside of the wall?
>>282570477Is it getting translated still? I want to keep reading it but there has been no updates so far
>>282574679if it wasn't mainly released in Japan then no
>>282574691Comics are stagnated in their forever characters, due to the fact they focused more in being a franchise and less in making stories. I'm so tired of hero comics I can't wait for the day they sunset all current marvel and DC heroes, the new absolute spin is well written but they need to kill of the characters already, it's been too long
>>282576588You'd be surprised.I thought his stuff was decent, and it was honestly hilarious he managed to pull the ruse off
>>282577434>is the media format like mangaI don't get that one.
>>282569448"manga" refers to the nationality of the industry, not the creators. If it's written in Japanese and edited by a Japanese editor for publication in Japan in an Japanese magazine for a Japanese audience, it's certainly manga even if neither the artist nor writer are native Japanese.
>>282577692>does manga look like mangaThat is to say, it doesn't look like gook comics or read right to left like western comics
>>282578004left to right*
>>282578004What do you call Japanese series with tatesuko layout or yokogaki?
>>282570337No. Nips are genetically incapable of writing satisfying endings, for example.
>>282578055post examples?
>>282578004if a webcomic written and published by japanese for japanese has average panel density and layout of a manga but sometimes uses long vertical drop panels is it still manga?
>>282578521No, it's a webcomic you said so yourself, the long vertical drop panels are meant for viewing in phones so that would be a Japanese webtoon
>>282578580If something is published on a website instead of a magazine, does that make it a webcomic?
>>282569448Only if it's a japanese publisher that publishes stuff for japan. The more they stray from that, the more I see it as not manga.
>>282578580> No, it's a webcomic you said so yourselfI'm not disagreeing with the rest of your post, but a webcomic can be a manga too.Webcomic is a distribution/production method. Many vebcomics are released in normal ~20 page chapters, not single page releases.Often a webcomic can be distinguished by panel layout that lacks dual page split line, panels can touch all edges of all pages. Though experienced artists that hope to be published in tanks some day do consider page split line from the start.
>>282569448Yep. End of discussion.

>>282569448>western artist>>282569579>western writerPeople watch anime to dodge both of these
>>282575384>>282575402It looks anime enough. The only big difference is that they have chins.
>>282576369Like RED: On the Edge or Blood Blockade Battlefront?
>>282575729it fooled me I didn't know a western was the artist
>>282569448No. To japs this is a novelty in an overcrowded market, and you can count examples on one hand, so they are more lenient towards it. But to us, the "outside observers" it is the purity of japanimation is what makes it.
