August 16, 2012 1:24 pm For whatever reason, I just don't find the depth of characterization in Manga that exists in western comics. This is my problem with foreign comics in general. French, Italian, South American, and Japanese comics may all employ excellent draftsmen with some truly unique art styles: story tellers with a unique vision or interpretation of whatever genre they may working in; but when it comes to dialog, motivation, tone... I'm just left cold, and completely, unemotionally involved. Also, I find the big googly eyes and exaggerated facial expressions unrealistic and too cartoon-y for my tastes. :)
