I think part of this issue is that you're also using...not the best examples? I've gotta say, this is a tad biased here. You've chosen a lovely, iconic Blade of the Immortal action sequence--a very nice choice.

But the American comic you chose is definitely a rather crap page. This page breaks the 180 rule at least twice. There are an infinite number of other beautiful action sequences to choose from, no matter if it's manga, manwha, European, American, etc.

I think the difference here is purely crap storytelling vs good storytelling, and not exactly the best way to show differences in two culturally based arts. :\

Also, manga artists also work on huge creative teams where they might write and then do layouts and pencils or someone else will ink, another will tone, another will letter. It's a different process than America where yes, you'll find that same process, but there are tons of artists now who actually do it all.

ANYWAY, I think I'm actually going to write a huge spiel on this in reply to the original post so it doesn't seem like it's all at you (because really, it's not). I just wanted to bring up that I don't think this is a very fair comparison. Like comparing an apple to a rotten orange at the bottom of the pile.
