    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?
