The thing that keeps me into manga is that... it's a really fun escape from life. Sure, I do love to read non-comic and non-manga books, but sometimes visuals are nice too. ^.^ The stories are so fun, funny, and creative, and the drawings are beautiful and at times hilarious. (Gotta love the thousands of expressions manga-ka have come up with~)
And over American/Western comics... there's no comparison. A lot of effort goes into the process of creating a manga, and... it can't be beat.
a lot of processing goes into amer. comics too

the main diff. is translating. but i agree, manga is a sure way to escape the reality that is life!

I know, I know... I just feel the same way about manga as opposed to American comics as I feel about anime as opposed to American animation/cartoons/animated movies. It's more of an art form as opposed to entertainment, in certain cases. (I've had so many debates with anti-manga, pro-Amer. comics people, it's bringing some "sighs" from me right now by saying all this... .__., )
