I would read it either way. I do like the Japenese backround and culture though. But if it has good characters a good story I'll read it.

As long as it is good, I'll read it. However, we people tend to have a mentality of popularity and stuff. Most of the times we won't trust that manga that aren't from Japan to be considered to be good.

I find it weird no one has stated One Piece yet. It's my number one favorite manga, and has a large following worldwide. The setting of the story? Heck, it's not even our world. And it's even better that way! Very Happy

Well if it good okay but if bad ya you know. But like the new mangas that tokyo pop is making ciniema mang something like that. I really wouldn't want read that. Like that so raven the movie or something why don't they just wacth it on tv. I preferably like manga in japan. But if it's good it could go almost any where.

Jing: King of Bandits, is a good series and it's on a different world. He is a thief that travels and looks for things to steal, so the setting is all over the planet.

I mean I wouldn't mind if the manga was made in some other country or whatever. just as long as it has a good story and some actually good art to it. it has to be one or the other. but mostly I prefer both.

whether it be Ranma 1/2 or One piece, they're all pretty good. unlike Peach Girl I suppose. wait.. those were made in japan.. o.o;; unless I am mistaken by some information..

Yeah. Only the street fighter series though. Both comic and manga, but I prefer the comic better.

Some of the best mangas take place outside of Japan. The location won't matter that much if the story and the plot is very good. The character involvement and developement are the single most important thing in mangas.
