I dont think even this puts into scale just how absurd the growth in Manga was. How absurd was it? The entire American comic book market, including Indies, was outsold by just the merch of Demon Slayer.
And yet, comic pros think that this is all fine and proof that the Comic industry is healthier than it has ever been.
By their logic the industry is doing great. They are just too stupid or to dishonest to admit that their competitors are healthier than it has ever been and that they are spiraling the drain.
You don’t understand: their logic is stupider than that.
I saw one time that a comic author was on Twitter trying to argue that Manga selling out was a good thing for Comics. How you might ask? Well, you see, people will still want their graphic novels. And so if the manga is all sold out, then they will start looking at comics to satisfy their fix.
How do you even begin to fix the problem when your own people think that their competitors eating their lunch is good for them?!
lol. Such a great business strategy of we need our competitors to sell out and hope someone buys our crap instead of just ordering it online.
When they are out of aspirin, they'll come to me for some crack! It's amazing! Will sell BEEELLIONS.
Any chance you could recover that moment? Sounds like a great bit for my business school presentation.
Unfortunately not. That was years ago and I saw it second hand, so I dont have a link.
