Honestly? lolno. You're so wrong, OP.

Assuming Japanese panel layouts are superior is just a falacy, sorry to say. You can find examples of extremely well-sequenced work in any style of graphic novel/serial comics, as well as horrifically poor sequencing. And there are actually probably more manga with terrible "soulless" art than there are American comics with the same, just by virtue of the sheer volume of manga that gets produced in Japan. The industry there is insanely prolific and totally outstrips all American market production. As a result, the amount of utter shit that gets produced in Japan also outstrips what gets produced in North America by leaps and bounds.

Having grown up reading both, I have to say that the only reason I prefer European and Japanese comics is because it's easier to find good examples of comics with historical merit or educational value. Unfortunately even when you get out of the superhero genre you rarely find anything of the sort in the North American market. It would be nice if someone would change this.
