Manga/ Anime is pretty popular in some parts of america. Where I live at least one in every three people have either read/ watched it or at least heard about it--especially the boys. I guess it really just depends on where you live. Also most the stores and bookstores carry it where I am. So I guess I am lucky :].   See 10 other replies

There are 2 main reasons why I don't buy manga(I usually read online):
1. Local books stores only carry a very limited amount usually only the most popular series
2. There is a long delay between when the Japanese managa is written and its translated into english   See 10 other replies

Paul, punctuation is not really something you should cry foul on... considering that comma of yours was completely unnecessary given the conjunction. Advice is certainly something you should reserve for yourself. Any entertainment form that involves reading is good don't you think? Furthermore, pauly, perhaps you should be reading more books to advance your truly juvenile grammar.   See 10 other replies

Hm... I don't think I'm really understanding your question then, Ruth. You said you have a hard time finding English Manga but they are our comic books/graphic novels. Sin City, Superman, Batman are our "Manga's" But maybe you mean Manga's that came out in like Japan or something and are converted to English. Are you asking why don't American's read a lot of those? Then it's simple. Because we have our comic books. Superman, batman, Fantastic four, x-men, and all those underground stuff that I don't know about are probably plenty for American's to preoccupy themselves with. We've taken our "Manga's" and created them into television shows, movies, collectible item's, etc, just like Japan does with theirs. It would be cool if they watched our shows on Huluzhu.com (made that up) and complained about dubbed vs sub. But that'll be impossible because our cartoons are too kiddy now. Sarcastic as ever, but still kiddy. I loved the days when they were dead serious. The episode of Batman when joker gave people some laughing drug until they died with a giant smile frozen on their face will haunt me forever. lol. I guess we have Avatar which I never watched, but if they make him an adult, and bring the show on a more serious note I will definitely will be getting into it.   See 10 other replies

I do read other books Paul. That really has nothing to do with my lack punctuation I just get excited about what I'm typing and tend to forget to use punctuation. I do the same thing when I talk too. I tend to run everything together.   See 10 other replies
