I've never read a Korean book, but I think nothing beats Manga! Do you know a website where I could check out just a page of Korean books?

Japanese ones are slightly better in story and such, but thats only because more manga is produced in Japan than Korea. Alot of manga or "Manhwa" ( 만화 )and "Manhwa check" ( 만화 책 )as its called in Korean over there is Japanese manga translated into Korean.

Which is better, to mass produce and encourage competition, which also encourages a lot of trash published, or to have a limited market?





















Japanese fine plz :pirate: :crazy: :bounce: :mrgreen:

I shouldn't be biased, but i am. Everyone is to a certain extent, its just whether they admit it or not.

And just for the record, Japanese Manga. :color:

Eh, anyone who says that they are unbiased is obviously lying. if you act upon your biases, and to the extent, that's being biased. mainly the latter is the problem. Still, the market question interests me. Any takers?

I've only read one Korean Manga (PHD - Phantasy Degree) and seen another on DVD. Koreans, like Americans, haven't been doing manga as long as the Japanese have. They need time to catch up.

BTW, I do NOT recommend PHD. The heroine is annoying and everyone is just stupid. :P

PhD is hecka good I don't know what you're talking about, the characters are awsome. especially the vamp and the um guy named Dev and his older bro, it's just really sad when

Dev's older bro dies, and when the vamp dude dies with the other guys, the mummy and the werewolfe(sp?)
