It's a done deal. My local comic book store's western comics take up precisely one row of shelves at the absolute back end of the upper floor. It's been that way since 2015.
All through the 90's and 00's, it was the entire upper floor, save for the tiny manga section. Now the situation is completely reversed. Japan has utterly crushed western comics. People would rather read shit in black and white, backwards than read western comics. That's how shit western comics have been for the last 10 years.
LOL, incompetently and arrogantly shoving your propaganda down everyone's throat is how you lost the culture war and caused this mess in the first place, and now the left is losing it for the EXACT same reason. And despite contributing to the fall of the west, you CONTINUE with the same strategy? If you Christians were actually competent in advertising your values properly, the world would not be in this mess.
I teach Japanese, and I read manga. But let's be honest: half of it is mindless "I get stronger when I yell", "oh no! now there's an even MORE powerful bad guy! What will we do?!", or "Kyaa, senpai!"
You argue that "Christians aren't showing their values properly", yet I'm a convert to Orthodoxy from atheism. There's currently a massive flood of people doing the same - every Orthodox church is saying the same thing.
There are the occasional break-outs, but you almost always have to stop watching/reading them half-way through because there's no story mapped out (Death Note is a great example, Great Teacher Onizuka is another example).
Those are the very nature of paganism: the strongest will is law, there's no real end to the story, you can bribe the powerful to have them do what you want, and the sort.
Believe me: it's better than the shit America's pumping out currently, but you have to understand that we're living in the times of the Nativity. There's a giant push for a census (global vaccine passport), and there's not enough room for everyone (hospitals are "overflowing"). The savior is being born, and the King will soon work his magic, be persecuted, die, and be reborn.
Unless you mean almost entirely metaphorically, which would be an odd thing to do in casual conversation, most people would consider what you're saying to be nonsense. And this is coming from someone who respects the impact Christianity has had on the west, and who lives in an Orthodox Christian country.
Swept.

Most manga and anime is pagan garbage, but even THAT's preferrable to modern American anything.
