There’s tons of “Literature: The Manga” series but most of them are just western comics in a manga style. Except, somehow, the Les Miserables manga, which seems like a real passion project from the artist

Definitely recommend the Junji Ito version of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein if you haven't read it.

Yes they're called fascists also maybe the kind of thing that shouldn't be spoiled in a non-AoT thread

There are plenty of people who see someone in a manga or anime planning to kill everyone who doesn't agree with them and go "killing everyone who doesn't agree with me sounds awesome".

Edit : maybe not most but about half, now that I've read more than one page

I think it’s a valid question why western comics are color but manga isnt(usually)

(I believe the answer is just to make them faster and cheaper to make)

Manga are often published in anthology magazines as opposed to individual issues for western comics, and those anthology magazines are very thick with comics, and it's just cheaper to print in black and white on basically toilet paper

I think it's also a matter of scale. I'm not a 100% sure but I'm pretty sure DC and Marvel both have people whose whole job is just 'inker' or 'colorist' they don't make that another thing on the artist's plate singularly.

Its also a consequence of medium. Manga was and still is published in big, several hundred page magazines on very cheap print (think the cheap internal pages of a broadsheet newspaper), currently sold at 250 yen (~3$) while marvels go for about twice that for a single 30-40 page issue.

And its not for lack of manpower either, Mangaka do have several assistants but how many there are, how involved they are and their responsibilities depends on the person helming the manga.

Theres slave drivers, solo tezuka style workaholics and just regular guys who treat their assistamts like normal people working a job.

Both marvel and DC used to have big black and white anthology magazines printed on cheap paper too. I have a couple of the marvel ones in a box somewhere. I guess they didn't sell well to keep putting them out
