To-do list for Manga:
Just leaving a comment: This line "The history of manga is said to originate from scrolls dating back to the 12th century, and it is believed they represent the basis for the right-to-left reading style" is just awful. It really needs careful consideration. 1) Is said by whom? Are you referring to Choju Giga? If so, why not say so? I'd rather you didn't though, as this is an incredibly loose use of "manga" as meaning any comic image.... If you say "manga in the sense of comic image" though, you could get away with it. 2) The "basis of the right-to-left reading style" comment is just horrendously bad!! I mean laughably, ridicule-worthy awful! Have you never heard of China?? Right-to-left is the norm for reading Chinese texts, transferred to Japan, and of course this norm converts to reading images. Moreover, there are scrolls WAY before the 12th century that are visual and read right to left, such as the 9th c Karma Scroll. 3) Be creative. |

The manga industry's net worth and what this means
WP:NOTFORUM |
---|
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it. |
As I noticed that the manga industry is worth several billion US dollars something unexpected was drawn irreversibly to my attention, and what I found is: that the US dollars can be divided in parts while the Japanese yen is a simple large number. It is 3.6 versus 406.

There is any good explanation of why the hell this article treats like Manga and Anime are the same thing??
There is any good explanation of why this article make it sound like Manga and anime are the same medium???When a big chunk of Anime are straight from light novel and visual novel and manga are also often adapted into Films/Jdramas and Cdramas? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.193.164.126 (talk) 10:43, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
There is no such thing as Manga Style
A Mangaka can draw the way whatever he wants,it can go from Jiro and Taiyō Matsumoto European style to Hoshino Yukinobu and Inoue Takehiko realistic drawings,yet this article made it sounds like there is a set definition of style that a mangaka should draw like. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rafaelrios5964 (talk • contribs) 21:32, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

Return to manga kanji picture
Hi there. Why was the main picture changed? On this article, we need to be impartial about showing an actual picture illustrating some manga. I request for the kanji of manga to be the main picture once again. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 191.80.182.1 (talk) 11:55, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
- An image of the kanji for "manga" is not illustrative of the topic itself (which is why I moved it to the "Etymology" section). In my opinion, File:Wikipe-tan manga page1.jpg is a suitably natural and appropriate representation of the topic, and I don't see how it isn't impartial. — Goszei (talk) 05:41, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
- I second the request. If one clicks on the source of the current photo, it leads to the artist's Pixiv page showcasing "lolicon" pornography. In quite a few countries viewing such material is illegal; and legality aside there's also the concern of children or people at their working clicking on the source and being exposed to it. I know that Pixiv does require you to actually have an account and be logged in to see pornographic photos, but the risk is still there. FairlyDecent (talk) 03:21, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not censored. Putting that aside, it doesn't make sense that this image is objectionable because of material that is hosted on a different website (behind an account wall, no less) accessible through a link that isn't on Wikipedia. — Goszei (talk) 16:49, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi everyone. I come back to request this once more. I really think that the kanji manga is the best option rather than showing any page of any actual manga, just to be impartial. Could someone please do this or tell me why you won't do it? Thanks!
