hentai=pervert in japan west world made it porn. anyways curve manga is and isnt a cartoon and i wont say why because its based on opinions. but manga is like a movie with still pictures and no audio (atleast what i think of it) and the pictures describe how the person looks and what there doing. im not a book reader only had a few books actualy intrest me (even fewer manga its like 7 books to 1 manga series). only thing i agree with is its a money taker 7-10 bucks for a small book you can read in 20 min or less then a big 700-1k book that costs around 15-20 bucks that can take days or weeks (reading for maybe 3 hours or so a day). example 28 book manga series at $8 = $224 (can take maybe a week to read all 28) and a 3 book series at $17 = $51 (for me probaly took a month to finish all the books). otherwise its nice to not read as much and look at a picture to figure out what someone is doing /facepalm post
