    It’s just another medium. One appeal, it’s from a similar, but different culture, so a lot of the tropes are unfamiliar and values being pushed are different.

    Compared to US comics, manga isn’t stuck in the superhero genre. You get more variety.

    Another appeal for a lot of Japanese media is the original creator(s) have more control over adaptions.

      The only thing I know about manga/anime is when my ex husband bought a video of teens that we having upskirt shots and playing with themselves all while he jacked off to it. I watched maybe five minutes and thought it was stupid. I am from the states but why in the states is it more closely associated with pron?

        That was hentai. Hentai is the porn genre of anime it’s the exception not the rule

        That would be porn. If you find live action porn, does that mean all live action is porn?

        Compared to the US, Japan(and most of Europe) are more free sexually. The US is also more prone to violence and being lead into war. Make of that what you will.

        Some people obsess over it. It’s kind of a meme though, which from that perspective I get. Sounds like that might be hentai though.

          See now i start getting confused because there is anime manga and hentai and probably some others I don’t know about.
