I'm a little Disappointed with the Current Japanese comics publishing scene....Why? Read on. I'll tell you...NO ACTION!!!

Am I influenced by most modern manga? Hardly. Modern manga retailers in Japan these days are so deprived of the modern day Katsuhiro Otomos and Hiroaki Samuras. I log onto Japanese Amazon, and all I see is sexy girl manga, or really perverted hentai, or eloquent boy's love or Yaoi. Nothing like what I'm used to in the states. It's all very naughty. It left me high and dry. Where is all the ACTION and Manly Martial Arts Comics I wondered. Does Japan even make real action comics anymore. Shows and studios like Avatar: The Last Airbender, Teen Titans, The Boondocks, and Titmouse have got Japan's comic books beat in the contemporary action department, hands down. I guess all this isolation from Japanese society left me blind to the reality of it. That most Japanese manga nowadays is just porn!

But not all Asia has lost it's martial arts way like Japanese manga has. Fortunately for readers worldwide, there's two countries in particular that make comics of the manga variety with TONS of good old fashioned ASIAN Action Martial Arts and Ass-Kicking in them: China and Korea.

Chinese and Korean comics are still being made quite often today, and it's obvious the Koreans and Chinese know how to draw fighting and martial arts in sequential art form just as much as the Japanese do. They're picking up a lot of the slack Japan is leaving lately when it neglects action and martial arts combat in favor of pornographic imagery.
