Wish kodansha pushed their actual manga series as hard as they are pushing this thing. Its all over my twitter yet they have titles they barley ever mention.

You can easily tell this is a comment from Topgunguy. He's complaining about American comics again. Yup, because the myriad of Gundam manga don't do that. I mean, Gundam is SO American. It's only problematic when it's done by Americans. Because choice, availability and stand-alone comics are bad. Damn. |

Uh-huh. And anime and manga haven't done this dozens if not hundreds of times over the years. Really, what's the big deal? It makes absolute sense that American comic book creators might have interest in/respect for manga and vice versa. They're all in the same industry. |
