I think it depends. When I was in Japan I saw plenty of people reading stuff, mainly on their phones. Outside of that it depends, I don't really see anyone reading comics or anything either though. I don't really have enough physical copies of manga to read regularly though.

It's literature but probably not /lit/ approved

>> No.11516480

>>11516308
There are two kinds of "literature". The first, which you want manga to be recognized under, is mere words scrawled on a page. The second, is "works of literary merit". /lit/ is a board for #2, not #1. You have a board for manga, go back there.

>> No.11516485

>>11516308
Because you need the images to make sense. The writing isn’t complex enough that it can exist by itself. Sometimes there are entire sections told only by images and onomatopeias.

I'm reading the dragon ball's manga.

Manga is tv/movie tier at best. I enjoy Junji Ito and Naoki Urasawa myself but it doesn't ascend past that.

>> No.11516983

>>11516308
But comics aren't words with pictures next to them. Comics are primarily images in a sequence telling a story. Words are optional, you can have a wordless comic but not a pictureless comic.
The expressive means and perception of comics are also fundamentally different from literature.

As far as I care it's good to read good manga, which seems to be a rarity. Taniguchi, Nakazawa, Tezuka and Miyazaki look very good to me, but the rest seems quite shitty, judging by what I see posted on 4chan.

>> No.11517004

sure, you need to know where to look. Personally I enjoy old horror manga, stuff like mizuki.

I read some: Uzaki-chan and the Touhou comics; at least the ones I read are quite brain-dead.
The guy who made Punpun makes good stuff overall though.
