In the category of "This makes Mugen's head hurt"...

Apparently Japanese manga will never make it big in America because Americans don't eat rice, among other things.

I think my favorite bit is where he says that Americans don't like teenage angst. Now, please excuse me. I have to go eat sushi while reading Judy Blume and Sweet Valley High.

I think he's also got a stereotyped idea of Japanese culture, excuse me, Culture. Pretty much reads like an opinion paper written for a class where you were asked to take a stand on a topic and support it. I remember those - man, we produced some godawful tripe in those days.
