This can't be good...

At least they’re calling it a comic book and not manga, unlike those ‘Tokyopop Rising Stars’ nonsense; perpetuating the idea that what they do is manga.

It was plastered all over MySpace as "Avril Lavigne's Manga!" In big shiny letters. Ew.

I had a chat with some girl on another forum. Starting to think Manga should be like Champagne. You can only call it that if it's from the place it originated from.

I think I agree that manga should be a term reserved for comics from Japan. I mean, the reason I enjoy manga and anime so much is because it's from Japan, and because it's distinctely Japanese. No point in calling western graphic novels, that are merely styled after manga, manga. But, that's just me.

I'd buy it if it wasn't so thin...I don't really wanna pay that much when you can get a (much thicker) SJ book for less.
