michannaWhy do I like manga so much? The easy answer is that I don't. Manga is no different to me than any other media and I don't think I've ever come across a media that I don't like, although I do stay away from magazines for some reason.
Manga is nice because usually there's an end in sight so collecting it isn't a ridiculous passtime for an obsessive complusive like me the way comic collecting would be. The stories are sometimes good and sometimes bad, as is expected, and I only buy and read the good ones. There is a cultural difference in a number of the stories that gives them a different feel than the comics and books I'm used to.
Also, I like shiny, pretty things.
