The manga industry's net worth and what this means[edit]

WP:NOTFORUM
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

As I noticed that the manga industry is worth several billion US dollars something unexpected was drawn irreversibly to my attention, and what I found is: that the US dollars can be divided in parts while the Japanese yen is a simple large number. It is 3.6 versus 406.



Although money is imaginary the difference is not. Money, money money. Speling12345 (talk) 2:59, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 11 May 2022[edit]

Please remove the image associated with hentai or remove the link to hentia. This image, while a graphic, meet Wikipedia's definition of hardcore pornography (displays sexual organs and a sexual act). This is not suitable for students. WimpyLibrarian (talk) 23:51, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: Pretty sure hentai should be linked here. As for the image on the hentai page, that is a discussion to be had on that talk page, though if your sole argument for its removal is that it is unsuitable for students, you should see WP:NOTCENSORED.

Adding norwegian manga under subheader 'Localized manga'[edit]

As a new wikipedia editor I cannot edit the manga page. But I want to suggest an addition under the subheader 'Localized manga'. In 2020 the norwegian publisher "Outland Forlag" (https://outlandforlag.no/, https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outland_forlag, started in 2016), an offshoot company of the norwegian comics/geek store chain "Outland" (https://www.outland.no/, https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outland_(butikk) ), published the 0th volume of their comic anthology "Rakkan" (https://outlandforlag.no/manga/rakkan). This anthology features manga-inspired comics created by norwegian authors with dialogue and text in norwegian. Outland's objective with this anthology was to find out what norwegian manga looked liked (original quote "Hvordan ser norsk manga egentlig ut" https://www.outland.no/artikkel/hva-er-rakkan-norsk-manga). As of 13.01.2023 the anthology has 5 volumes (0th through 4th). The anthologies are printed in black and white. They are sold in their physical stores and on their website, as well as in some other norwegian bookstores.

I hope someone can help with this addition. I am available to help with translations from norwegian to english if needed. Sindrexzxz (talk) 13:17, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There are localized manga in just about every European country by now. I guess we should limit the examples to the most notable countries, possibly France, Germany, Italy and Spain? (I'm not an expert on this matter.) I also suspect that Algerian DZ-manga is a rather minor phenomenon, but I'm willing to discuss it. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 12:03, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, Norway has also seen the coinage of the term "Nordic manga" as a marketing term, although the quite variable comics marketed under the umbrella term don't seem to have much to do with manga either as a stylistic or narrative tradition... Most of the series seem to have been inspired by webcomics and the modern digital art style mix of Disney, manga, bandes dessinées, US and South European comics, as well as Scholastic Graphic Novels and Western YA artists such as Kazu Kibuishi. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 13:33, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
An alternative suggestion would be to create a new main article for localized manga, although I guess it could easily turn into a laundry list... 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 19:11, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

erroneous Kanji given for manga[edit]

This is a real puzzler for me, as the picture given for "manga" is erroneous, as one can quickly see when comparing it with the kanji provided right at the beginning of the article (漫画). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:E34:EC72:E9E0:10E7:3A2A:8AAB:853A (talk) 08:00, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As could be seen on [1] (bottom right corner), Santō Kyōden's calligraphy is a bit particular. One stroke on 画 is started slightly below the top instead of from the top, and - unlike modern Japanese - Santō Kyōden regularly seems to utilize hyphen-like lines to connect compound characters. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 22:30, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly, and thanks for providing a more detailed explanation of what is problematic than I could.
The mains issue I see with featuring this particular calligraphy is that I have seen it reproduced a lot in different contexts, and therefore propagating something that is very close to being a typo. 194.2.155.30 (talk) 14:52, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why is first manga example on manga infobox Wikipedia related?[edit]

Because it's one of the only freely-licensed and high-quality pictures of manga on Commons. Link20XX (talk) 20:19, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
