>>25277Manga is very different. Smaller size leads to less panels per page and more creative panelling, 60+ pages and a weekly format lead to better page flow, more dynamic fight scenes and less compression, anthology magazines and creator ownership lead to more stand-alone series that never change authors, the black-and-white printing leads to faster drawing, sharper shadows and more detailed art, etc., etc. Manga is so much different in fact that it influences Western comic book authors too, Daniel Warren Johnson and Bryan Lee O'Melly are prime examples.
