| The History of Comic Market Comic Market represents everything that is good about anime fandom.

Anime? Probably the most well-known explanation of anime and manga, quite probably because Eri made sure his site was listed right there in the first five by most search engines. A number of people I know have attacked this essay for being "unfair" to American comics, and for allegedly ignoring the independent comic industry. Regardless, this is one of the most well-known pieces of writing on anime and manga out on the 'Net. And compared to what other people've written, this is not anyhow bad. |
