>Story about a 40 yo retard who becomes a superhero>Mangaka has amateur art, but still made itThis is hopefuel, anon. They made his shit into a fucking anime.
>>7755184in comics/manga, story>>>>>>>>>art
>>7755191This.>>7755184The next time you read a comic, especially one you are really into, I need you to think how often you stopped reading to look at the panels and art. Remember that you're on an art board. I'm assuming you draw. So if you don't pause to look at the art often imagine how little, if ever, a normie does.
>>7755184I'm not Japanese. And imo, his art is like that on purpose. Like Baki. They could draw more normally.
I dont live in Japan where small independent creators are supported.
because mangaka is real job in Japan and competition actually rakes real livable cash, unlike those from other countries where you need to survive either as a hobby or once in a while gigs. have you ever seen any functional adults reads comics/manga like Japanese does? you're better off becoming a smut novelist authors. you can't change anime = kids cartoon until all boomers are died off.
>>7755296>have you ever seen any functional adults reads comics/manga like Japanese does?They don't have an official website that preserves and archives all manga that was ever published and I highly doubt there is a library in Japan that has volumes of obscure manga just stocked on the shelves ready to be read. If a manga isn't SJ it's going to get thanosed unless some westerner (that's us) preserves it and translates it. We westerners consume more manga than Japanese people. You wanna find volume 5 of random manga? It's gone forever because they did no work in preserving shit nor do they care.
>>7755184>This is hopefuel, anon.No, dumbass, google survivorship bias and stop being an ignorant retard.
>>7755405>Survivorship bias is the logical error of focusing only on data from "surviving" entities while overlooking those that failed or were eliminated during a selection processAnon, are you saying you concede to failure because the overwhelming majority fail and thus that's your subscription; failure to win? If you're still standing and you have some fight left in you then keep trying.
>>7755398Why would you think that Japan doesn’t have libraries?
>>7755425>I highly doubt there is a library in Japan >that has volumes of obscure manga just stocked on the shelves ready to be read
>>7755418>are you saying you concede to failureNo, I'm saying taking OP's example as THE NORM is retarded.There is always hope in life for anything, but you shouldn't have unreasonable expectations that are based on fallacious reasoning.
>>7755451Being unreasonable is how you keep the soul alive.
>>7755184Manga and comic book is a balance of Art and Story.Japan just happened to have a strong Manga industry and strong national audience.Japanese manga or Comic as entertainment already is replaced abroad with TV drama, that's why in USA comic book is struggling because it already have a strong native Local TV drama and Hollywood movies.
>>7755398do you seriously think there aren't japanese people out there who also care about preservation? they can think for themselves you know. >We westerners consume more manga than Japanese people.wait nevermind you're actually just a braindead retard, carry on
>>7755501>do you seriously think there aren't japanese people out there who also care about preservation?Man, they don't even have crunchyroll in JAPAN. And a Japanese company owns part of Crunchyroll. They still have to use DVRs to record late night anime.I'm not retarded, you're just unaware and blind. >they can think for themselves you knowYeah only a few politicians seem to care about preserving manga. They don't get up off their ass to do so. I highly doubt a Japanese owns Ex-Hentai. It's 100% maintained by foreigners.
>>7755514Actually "Tenboro" is a foreignerFrom Norway, started out as a yahoo group in the late 90s. If it wasn't for him there wouldn't be an Internet Archive for Hentai and millions of works would have been lost because Japanese people do not give a shit. You wanna buy an obscure season of some show? YOU CANT WATCH IT ONLINE. You gotta buy a DVD of it because nobody gave enough shit to rip that show and put it online.Lost media, because noone cares enough.
>>7755184>hopefuelIt's depressing.
>>7755191Not true. You don't read Bleach, Solo Leveling and Spawn for their stories.>https://www.tiktok.com/@wired/video/7257627295916068142
>>7755191You don't read much manga if you think like this. There's absolute garbage stories with awful characters that became hits because the manga art is pretty and made readers hearts go doki doki.
>>7755636Wdym? I read rent a girlfriend for the story and characters depth, not because the anime girls are cute.
>>7755184>>7755621What's the name?
>>7755469>soul alive>believes in supernatural mumbo jumboNever mind anon. Now I understand why you can't use logic and reasoning.
>>7755514>im not retardedt.The retard
>>7755184>be 18>manga is about young warriors >be 28>manga and anime is about 30 year olds>about to be 40>manga is about 40 year olds/our/ hobby
>>7755702>no argumentI accept your series of replies as your concession
>>7755622wasn't spawn co-written with neil gaiman?
>>7755622Spawms story is shit, thats why mobody reads it
>>7756512honestly thats why I hate so many western comic artsts, I go to comiccons and all the indie artists theyre making the same stupid shit, dumb 20 page short storys about superheroes. Nothing true to life, its all slop. Write something real, the japs are great, theres so many awesome long running series that are continuous stories, not short single issue arcs about the world ending
>>7755184society is becoming full of retard neets with no skills living in their parents homes, with absolutely no taste for art. Of course a shit manga like that found success, stories about working hard and not giving up no longer sell.
>>7755191this is the wrong way to look at it. I'll give you a hint. the reverse is also the wrong way.
>>7756526>society is becoming full of retard neets with no skills living in their parents homes, with absolutely no taste for art. That make no sense, 99.9% of story creators are normal adults with a day job.The isekai subgenre was created by Japanese salarymen trying to escape their horrible work conditions not NEETs or anyone else living life in easy mode. >Of course a shit manga like that found success, stories about working hard and not giving up no longer sell.Japanese fiction is about fantasy, and living your dreams not emulating real life.There's a reason why modern Western fiction is so disliked around the world while Asian fiction is so beloved.>>7756506>wasn't spawn co-written with neil gaiman?The first chapter that Gaiman wrote's chapter 9 and he created a few characters like Angela and Medieval Spawn.
>>7756512early spawn was alright before it became a powerwankfest like japanese shonen
>>7756517>I go to comiccons and all the indie artists theyre making the same stupid shit, dumb 20 page short storys about superheroes. Nothing true to life, its all slop. Write something realHonest question but what would that look like to you? different genres? Or just less cape and shonen shit? I agree about the indie space btw, just wanting to know what others are looking to read
