    Yes we should add social factor per country.

    You weren’t talking about those but about manga in general and compared them to meth. Which somewhat annoy me.

    I apologize, i don’t want to talk about child abuse. I won’t be able to bear it, so for my mental health i prefer to avoid this topic. It’s too heavy, i hope you will understand.

    Those i mentionned above are also stories told to people. They also can pollute the mind as you said. Why should we exclude them ?

    We can talk about marvel movie and the body stereotype, we can talk about newpapers that influence people mood and beliefs and may induce them into violence and hate crime…the topic is broad.

    We can also talk about meth destroying people life, drug market, gun market, farmers forced to grow some plants, ecological problem related to tabacco…

    So, I still don’t think you can compare manga seller to meth seller.

    However, you can talk about stories wether they are picture or text. How they influence people’s beliefs. It also involve history book, newpapers, media…its a very interesting topic.

    Or another topic : capitalism. The way manga are geared is due to the current competition. You have to make sure anyone will buy your production. Otherwise you can’t pay your rent, your meal…so the current problem isn’t related to manga but society and its economical system.

    Well, i suggest we stop there. It’s the weekend.

    I wanted to raise awareness about manga production and working condition. Manga editor can improve them by raising the deadline and slowing down the production. Also most drawing autor suffer hand injury…

    Your point was the influence of manga in society. It’s an interesting topic. :)
