In an interview Koyoharu Gotouge said one of the reasons he stays anonymous is because he sometimes gets angry messages from Western failures demanding to know why their shit didn't sell while Demon Slayer is so successful. Why can't these freaks take a hint.

Gotouge is a woman

Given how fucking mentally ill the Western Comic Book industry is, she's not wrong. I blame Disney for ruining Marvel and by extension, the rest of the industry.

Given how small the floppy industry has gotten, I can see that happening.

>demanding to know why their shit didn't sell while Demon Slayer is so successful

1) It got a cartoon, which drove sales of the comic
2) It initially got accepted by people whose job it is to publish comics that will sell
3) Every month, they check if the readers still give a fuck and give any project they don't care about the axe

They're shit isn't disgustingly woke either. That's an important point

I pretty much only read 2000AD these days but looked at an American series that sounded interesting recently, I don't remember the name, something about conspiracies from Image I think, and the trades were like £15 for 5 issues and I just didn't bother. A manga volume is usually about £9 in my LCS, they do a permanent 3 for 2 deal on them, and they're like twice the length. I grab the first couple of volumes of manga series that look interesting all the time but pretty much only buy Western rereleases of stuff I've read and enjoyed or books from authors I already know I like.

>>150523000
5 fucking years with this faggot OP posting the same fucking pic?
Also the manga was garbage in the end.
OP is Better.

It's clickbait shit too because it was comparing all of DS's sales throughout history with Big 2 sales across one year or something like that.
>>
>>150523000
This again? OP go find a cock to suck

>>150523000
Thats crazy because demon slayer sucks but somehow all of western comics suck worse

People always say manga trades are cheaper, but I never really understood collecting manga trades. Big mangas have hundreds of chapters, and a single trade is comprised of like 11 chapters at most. Never mind the money, you would need a lot of physical space to collect even three 100-chapter mangas in trade.
>>
>>150523756
As i said, One Piece is still better than DS even with all of the baits.
And the manga had the shittiest low energy ending ever because tanjiro is a retard.
>>
>>150523792
That's because manga isn't meant to be collected. It's meant to be cheap disposable entertainment you read on a train, wipe your ass with when you have to go, and then throw away.

I bet a lot is about euro hipster bullshit

Citation needed, anon. Thats a pretty insane claim.

>>150523000
we had this same argument a million times before
1 importing existing material from abroad will always be cheaper than producing new stuff locally
2 the manga fan base is in the bookstores not comicshops, manga aint 'stealing" comics readers
>>
>>150523792
But why would you want to collect manga magazine anthologies? Those have cheap phone book style news print and the ink smears very easily.and gets on your fingers. The main purpose of those to sell manga stories and have something to read on the train commutes.

>I could try out a comic I find interesting but I won’t because I can buy more mediocre manga instead
>>
>>150524225
>2 the manga fan base is in the bookstores
most of the manga fanbase is online. The fact that they can sell them in bookstores is more a result that many of that huge fan base is willing to buy physical copies too. Manga would never have gotten as popular as it has on bookstores alone.

I really don't want to shit on the manga, but Demon Slayer is literally shit. Most basic manga I have ever seen. I think it is carried by the anime.
>>
>>150523000
What's crazy is that this is not a very good manga. It's about as good as the better American comics out these days. Different strengths and weaknesses, of course.

One Piece is carried by its characters.
>>
>>150525340
Demon slayer is shit but I can understand why people like it. It's easy to read, the characters are more of less entertaining and the art is at least decent. The fights are shit but they are written in a way that let people imagine the action.
>>
>>150523000
they did that one comic where its american exceptionalist where they japanese characters and make homer nuke japan. of course they will fail
>>
>>150525582
This. By manga standards it's mid, but that only puts it at worst on the same level of most capeshit if not above it since the panelwork is much better
>>
>>150523000
Reminder this is a misleading headline from some random blogger who made a faulty comparison and it only gets spammed here to bait more EAST VS WEST tribalism.
