I was looking at tokyo pop's manga magazine.

On one side they have Original English Language manga, I was reading some of those.

I must know: Why do OEL manga suck so much ass?

⋯ No.2201

It's an outgrowth of fanfiction.

⋯ No.2202

I guess it's cheap? Besides, the perception of "manga" in occident is a caricature (no pun intended) of the original concept. Most of the effort in these creations is being focused into being manga-ish, instead of originality or quality.

But yeah, it could be said then that it's an outgrow of fanfiction.

⋯ No.2206

The worst part is the character names: Instead of japanese, or japanese sounding names, they're given names like "Jake" and "Sally". WTF?

⋯ No.2208

>>2206
They do sound stupid, but if they gave them japanese names, we would say that english manga should have english names. I know I totally would.

⋯ No.2209

>>2208 Hmm, you're right. If they tried to give them japanese names I would end up thinking they're weeaboo.

⋯ No.2222

>>2209
Wait... what.
