It'll be asian...manga is a word used in asian so what's the point of asking!!! Those "english" country they read shit comic like "batman and superman" kind...they don't call it manga!!! so, of cause manga is more commonly read by asian =)

I'm asian, but I never read asian manga's before they're translated. The reason for this is because i'm illiterate in Chinese (Which is my asian heritage). I can only read a few words here and there so its useless.

---I think there are more asian readers, but the non asian readers are starting to populate rather quickly.

Give it time because manga is growing fast in the US. The manga sections are getting bigger every time I go to the bookstores. Very impressive. It may not be long before Americans are a substantial percentage of profit for manga artists.

I'm asian and I read manga, so I guess I add to the population of asian manga readers Laughing

*asian speaking up*

Greatest number currently?
Asian

Fastest growing manga-reading population?
Non-Asian.

So there.

My humble opinion : )

Besides, all the manga gets printed first in bootleg Chinese.
W00t.

Not that I can read it : \.

You know what, I don't care about the number of fast growing non-asians. Manga will always belong to the asians! The non-asians such as tokyopop(The devilish corp. we curse when they license something) leading the 'manga wave' are just getting profits. There's nothing wrong with earning money. But please, don't suck out the culture and background I am trying to hold onto. It's one of the only ways I can connect to my culture, and read a good story. But yeah, there is a rising number of non-asians reading thanks to 'Tokyopop' Asians will always be number one readers (Because you have to include Asian-americans, asian-british, etc...)

I think asians read more manga because they had access to it before we knew what it was and i was introduced to manga by an asian magazine.

its obvious asian reads more manga than anyother race , but it is increasingly getting popular in north america , so there will be more ethnicity reading manga soon .
