"This spring I spent two months in Japan looking under the hood of the
manga industry. I met with key players in the supply chain — from the
artists who create the work and the editors who polish it to the
retailers who sell it and the fans who devour it. I argued with manga
critics in Tokyo, hung out at the country's only college manga
department in Kyoto, and paid homage to the God of manga in Osaka. I was
hoping to get a sense of why Japanese comics have become so insanely
popular around the world. What I got instead was a tantalizing peek into
what might be the future business model of music, movies, and media of
every kind."
