Certainly a question that goes around in the geek world is: Mangas better than comics?! So, let's try to answer this, as the giant NPD BookScan carried out its research with the 20 best comic books of December 2021! Now, without further ado, here’s the news:

Mangas x comics

First, let's clarify what each of them is. Well, basically both are comic books, but the Manga comes predominantly from Japan and the comics from the United States. However, the differences don't stop there, where a complete comic book arc lasts around 5 to 7 magazines. As we well know, a Manga can range up to more than 300 volumes! Furthermore, the Japanese always try to make emotions clear in characters. On the other hand, comics focus much more on the action and progress of the story.

In terms of adaptations, Mangas generally stand out for Animes, but they also attract a lot of attention in cinemas, for example with the Demon Slayer Mugen Train and Jujutsu Kaisen 0 films, which are recent successes. Contrary to this, comics have focused much more on films than on animations.

In short, they are two sides of the same coin and there is no shortage of discussions between fans. Dc, Marvel, have always been confronted with Manga, but perhaps they don't hold a candle to Japan. That's what we'll see now:

Are Mangas Better than Comics?!

So, as we can see through the research, it is clear that Mangas are predominant on the list! Furthermore, this was not an isolated case from December last year, but rather something that is quite common in the industry. In other words, through this data, it is very shallow to say that Mangas are better than comics, but it shows that in terms of success and profit, Manga is running over Americans!

Anyway guys, what's your opinion? Leave a comment and see you next time!
