For me the great difference between manga and comics is that the first have a story it wants to tell and once it is finished it ends. So a mangaka will create his unique story (that certainly will share similarities and inspirations from other works as any entertainment) and for 5 to 30 years he will write it. Once he finish he may create another story, but very very rarely someone else will take over his story (some spin-off happens though). For Comics, we have had the same superheroes for like 100 years and they just keep cycling the begin develop finish every so 5-10 years retelling the same stories. And each new cycle may change how he hero begin, what are his companions and whatnot. So you'll never have the true story of that hero. Japan manga have as many different stories as you can have tastes. They have manga about chess, swimming, ski climbing, fight, cooking, romance, sex, horror, etc. |
Agree that is one thing I like about manga over Amerian comics. For example I like Batman and Spider-Man, but I would never be able to read through them because they go on for decades and a whole bunch of different. Whereas the two manga I want to read (Ghost in the Shell and Sanctuary) are much smaller and contained.
