Outsourcing manga though? That sounds kind of farfetched and sensationalized to me. The first problem I see with this, is that AFAIK, manga authors don't get paid a lot. Unless they're super popular. Second, if he's writing the story, and drawing the artwork, then how is he different from anyone else? To me, that would mean that the serialization liked his work better than the japanese that were also submitting their work to that publisher. Its not easy to get serialized in Japan. If it was as simple as getting paid dirt cheap, then I'm sure theres good japanese authors that are just as willing.

Yeah, especially when a lot of most acclaimed American comics are and have been written by British writers and movies directed by British directors (Tony Scott, Ridley Scott, Alfred Hitchcock, Christopher Nolan, James Whale etc.). |

Finally. I had been arguing this exact point many years ago. Of course, NOW... the limit is set to publication IN Japan. I hope - publication won't be limited to Japan; and the manga medium spreads elsewhere, in terms of production. Not just distribution. Yet, it wasn't this article that got my attention again. It took the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing_(manga)]Freezing anime[/url] my attention. For based on previous discussions, even I decided to question: "Hey, this series is an 'anime'. Yet the creators are Korean... ... ... aha! LOL."
Therefore, manga IS a style. AND you don't have to be Japanese to make it. Eventually, you won't have to be in Japan to make it. But for now, the culture hasn't gotten that far --- yet. Even so, describing this "manga style" is a very very very VERY difficult thing to do. |
