non-japanese manga

**Blanchimont** · 08-06-2007, 12:20 PM

Just wondering..

What are your opinions about non-japanese manga, aka 'pseudomanga'?
Especially now that Tokyopop has been busy releasing so many of those? Titles like 'Amazing Agent Luna', 'Bizengast', 'East Coast Rising', 'Dramacon' etc..
Do any of them meet the standards we usually define the japanese manga after?
Are you against it or is it worth a chance?. We do have the Korean anime/manga since before as precedence but is it comparable to that?
Do voice your opinions in this matter

Sincerely, Blanchimont

As a final note, some of the Datorrent banners actually feature the characters from 'Amazing Agent Luna'. It's also a 'manga' that I enjoy a lot^^, and probably the only non-japanese/korean manga that I've actually enjoyed reading. It's only on second volume though..
