Screw you guys, manga should be with books. You guys are nerds, perhaps you are secret otaku?
DISCUSS!

Anyone read any? Japanese or american imposters alike?

Well, I guess Children's Books are books...

That's not the kind of attitude I'd expect toward comics from a guy who runs an internet forum dedicated to one.

If I'm in the mood for a long story, I read real books, alright? So far the only Comic (in the sense of the word used for Manga instead of SMBC) I adore is Templar, Arizona. Everything else just fills me with a sort of revulsion. Watchmen was okay because it had the long bits where you didn't need to look at pictures.

::edit::
Also, I wouldn't be able to Mod this place efficiently if it wasn't for Mage. He's the real Hero.

What dirty stuff gets a lesbian couple off? Females? Dudes that look like girls? Transgender? Furry?

She's weird and doesn't even really like porn.

As for me, I can PM you a list if you'd like. Most of it will involve things that are legal.

Huh? What did I do?

Well, that narrows it down to incest, pedophilia, bestiality, or necrophilia.

I can't read comic books or manga*. I lack the focus to really follow along, probably due to my critical retardation. I've read probably one manga in my life which I didn't like, then I read a few books in the 30 Days of Night series, and I didn't like those either. The only book that I thought was pretty cool was a book about Kafka, which featured short graphic versions of some of his popular works, as well as commentary about his life from a Jew. I do like watching anime, though, because you can be retarded and it doesn't matter because there's basically no story anyway.

*Or, as they are sorted in the library, "graphic novels". I just get so pissed because none of these tween kids that just want to read romantic comedy shoujo can keep any of our three graphic novels sections straight.

In that case, LR, you might like the Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker manga. It's completely different from the others because it's a bunch of 4 panel jokes.
You would definately like that.
Should I post the link? (get it? get it?)

Wouldn't that make it a collection of comic strips rather than Manga?

Yonkoma?
Sure, post the link. Is it a webcomic?

Gag manga is definately a manga. IT follows a storyline, but you wouldn't know it from reading just the manga.
The others have link go through the game, fight bosses, etc. The storylines of zelda games are always awesome, so the manga version succeeds, if not for the pace that one person can save the world seems a bit rushed.

It's a manga, and I can show you pirated stuff.

Okay, when I read comic books, another thing happens... It all happens in my head like that show "Tim and Eric" where there are huge gaps of people just looking at each other dumbly and then they speak really slowly.

I'm reading,
"No...
...
...
..
It only thinks of her as a snack."
I dunno, it's not that funny, there's not much to it, anyway.
I like watching animes based on yonkoma because they remind me of Seinfeld, where nothing at all is happening.
