People in France who buy Comics/BD have a completely different aesthetic sense than manga buyers. There is almost no overlap, and manga buyers I know do not even register Comics/BD as an option. Comic artists are also usually very much against the manga aesthetics and seem to go for (imho) ugly designs to differentiate themselves.

- charcircuit 3y agoEven assuming that is true, I believe that comics could be more successful if they changed their character designs to make them more appealing to look at.
