Open question...

Over on [livejournal.com profile] homemade_manga, [livejournal.com profile] scorpio1987 is asking the question What makes a manga instantly popular?.

We know that "instant" success really isn't that - it's the product of a lot of preparation and work - but there's interesting thoughts in there about what makes a particular manga more popular than another, and why something takes the public by storm. Thoughts, musings, arguments on the subject, anyone?



I'll go pimp this on [livejournal.com profile] manga_talk once there's gotten to be some actual discussion, but for now I'm going to lunch. Ta.

Actually, it came at a good time as this morning I had started reading the 'Cerebus Guide to Self Publishing' by Dave Sim again. I'll be posting revelations in my LJ when I get a moment.

The premise to me was so over-the-top that I HAD to watch it.
Exactly! It was a train wreck with eight pretty boys! XD *slashes over here* *slashes over there*

Hmm, I'll wander over and take a look at the comments in the comm. ^^
