Someone put all that love into the art, and we just skim right through it! I guess it's a problem with American comics, too, though.LibraryHungryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01981967495068772927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9293137.post-2506532927948390802008-06-19T12:05:00.000-04:002008-06-19T12:05:00.000-04:00Ahhhh Fables......Librarians I talk to often say t...Ahhhh Fables......<BR/><BR/>Librarians I talk to often say that when they realized that manga was meant to be read quickly it changed the whole reading manga experience for them. It meant that they didn't feel like they had to struggle over meaning of images and text. It meant that they could let the story wash over them. It meant that they understood why teens went through dozens of the books a day (well maybe a week.)<BR/><BR/>Manga is part of a culture and I think it's hard for Americans to just take up this kind of reading without understanding a bit of where it came from. (Of course Dramacon isn't Japanese but...)<BR/><BR/>I'm now curious to read/hear your thoughts on the other manga you read for class.Linda Braunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04853164294638604335noreply@blogger.com
