I can totally agree with the consistency aspect of it, having one creative vision you’re following vs constant shifts as new creative teams take over. I grew up reading comics but as I got older shifted more to manga as it was just easier to follow and if i found a series I liked 99% of the time I like the whole series beginning to end but with comics my passion for a series could abruptly be stripped away with one bad story arch because a new writer took over and wanted to do their own thing. I think that’s also why while comics are losing to manga superheroes are more profitable than ever in film and television. Those mediums are giving audiences complete stories with singular visions or at least consistent ones especially in the case of marvel.

Because manga is fun and not obsessed with race/gender politics
