Why dont I see comic collectors on youtube ever discuss Manga comics and its always Marvel? 2 2

[The-Collector]

I think one of the impediments for manga OA is the lack of material available for purchase. As some people have mentioned there is a tendency for artist not to sell pages. Which you might think would make it rarer and more valuable. But my impression is the market becomes so thin it's a pain to collect and kills the community. 

Anime art has seen a rise in interest in the last two years. E.g. Ghibli and DBZ cells have started bringing some very strong prices.

@Aaarrgghh!you make  good point im doing myself no favors but please remember I just asked a question and then people like @1950's war comicsdecided to come in with his dry jokes. Seems like he needs to get out more ...good team talk though

[The-Collector]

I think you might be misinterpreting @1950's war comics intentions, this kind of humour is standard on the boards. It's usually considered good natured ribbing. This community is generally awesome and inclusive.

No, this is not "humor", it's trolling by one of the biggest ing s on this board.

@The-Collector fair enough, thanks for the advice 

[KCOComics]

I've never collected Manga and don't know too much about it. 

I can relate to @1950's war comics  because up until a few years ago, I had never heard of it either. I collect mostly GA and SA and I'm pretty disconnected from modern comics. 

With that said, it's pretty popular with kids these days. My 10 year old niece and her friends are really into it, which is how I learned about it.  My 9 year old son has allot of friends who like it and are getting really into anime in general.  So I think it has a good following and kids reading comics of any kind can only be good for the hobby.

We see the same for certain GA books as well. When that collectable market is so small, you cant build as much momentum. So in the same run/series the classic covers will go way up (cause there are so few available) while the non key issues will stagnate even though they are extremely rare in comparison to later comics.

My kids, ages 21 and 14, love manga so maybe it's a generational thing?

I don't have any interest in reading them and there are quite a few in the house.

Pokemon, Naruto, Soul Eater, My Hero Academia, Kingdom Hearts

I've bought many of these for my kids for X-Mas gifts over the years but that's the only reason why I know what they are.

Why don’t people talk about manga comics?

Because they don’t collect manga comics 

Im sure someone out there has a YouTube channel or whatever that does. It’s not my personal interest so I have never looked.

 

[theCapraAegagrus]

Probably because it's an incredibly small niche.

There are plenty of people discussing Manga.  
If you're wondering why the Marvel fans aren't discussing Manga, maybe ask them instead of asking the board members why, as if we have an answer for video creators' motives LOL
