4. I agree! I'm actually in art school right now because I want to create graphic novels. I have a manga-influenced style, BUT that does not mean I will draw manga. One of the reasons I love manga so much is that often it is very culture influenced and differs from a lot of American comics. I don't think that what I do could be considered manga as it doesn't have the cultural backing of Japan what with me being from the US and all. When I see "American manga" and such, I consider them graphic novels with styles influenced by manga. Really, I suppose it's not a big deal, but if I'm technical in what I consider anime, I might as well as been technical about this as well.
And it seems like you can always tell the difference between what is actually from Japan and what is not anyway, huh? The only one I can think of that I like is Rebirth by Christy Lijewski. I want to draw graphic novels with a manga-influenced style. Not manga. :D Thanks.
