Do you think manga is art?

answers1: Manga is NOT porn, dum dum.... <br>
<br>
I couldn't live without manga or anime, and I consider manga more than
art, BETTER than art, becuase a manga is what made Inuyasah, and I
have never been better since I started reading/watching Inuyasah ^_^
YES IT IS ART, AND NO IT IS NOT UGLY!! *sticks out tounge* only preps
hate anime... suckas..
answers2: Why wouldn't it be considered art? They're drawings and
stories. Both of which take creativity. If it's not art, than what is
it? Even acting is a form of art. Whoever called manga "porn" is an
absolute idiot.
answers3: Yes it's art. Bad art, but art nonetheless.
answers4: of course, there are so many different syles of
art..writing, cooking, poetry, painting, clothing design, and film are
all art...so why shouldn't manga be
answers5: of course it's art... <br>

not all manga is porn... <br>
you should really think before you type
answers6: Yeah i think its are. someone works really hard on those
characters just sitting and drawing. yeah manga is art.
answers7: I agree with you.. comic art is by far more detailed and
more diverse. But manga, though i do love it, has basically the same
type of art although it does vary a little from manga to manga.
another thing I like about comic art is that in almost every panel
there is a detailed drawing showing characters, landscapes, etc. while
manga sometimes has a character smack in the middle of a design
background or just plain white background. comic book art seems to
take longer and has more work in the process of making it
answers8: Well DU!! every thing that is created is art there is good
art and there is bad art, but its still art.
answers9: Yes.
answers10: In my opinion, manga is art just as much as literature is.
So many times, I've caught myself staring and marvelling at the way
certain panels are arranged across a page, and certain techniques used
by manga artists to make a certain impact or emotion, especially the
use of only eyes or parts of a face. I also think it's art in a sense
that many good mangas centre around a well-crafted story. <br>
<br>
I think of manga as between reading/literature, and watching/movies.
Is film-making an art? Words create images in the readers' minds,
movies portray an interpretation directly, when I read manga, both
words and pictures help to form images and ideas in my mind as well as
being able to see it on paper. <br>
<br>
Unless you're not talking about arts in its broader sense (drama,
visual art, literature), and only about art as in impressionist
paintings or drawings or something. Which I think is quite limiting,
because art expresses itself in so, so, many forms. Manga is a mix of
visual and verbal art. <br>

To the person who said manga is like porn and is belittling, perhaps
you've just been reading the wrong ones and missing out on the ones
that really touch on human emotions... I mean, with pressure of
weekly/monthly releases, mangakas are often very pressure so the
quality of the manga is less, but there are ones out there that are
brilliant. There are honestly so many different types of manga, good
and bad. As you can probably tell, I'm an optimist so I like to look
at the good. That, and lately I found a manga whose characters really
relate to me personally, so I've been in very reflective and quiet
moods lately...
