Compare and contrast: Japanese comics and American comics

I went to two different sites and asked the same question : How are Japanese comic books and American comic books different?



The first site i went to was the one about the Japanese comic book

The second site i went to was about American comic books.

Contrast:
Japanese comic books are read from right to left , which is unusual but it depends on what tpye of comic it is because some of them can also be read from left to right. Like a normal book.
Japanese comics are almost always black and white but it depends on how the artist wants the manga to be: black and white or colored. Sometimes its hard for people to understand how to read manga because of the way that you have to read but the comic usually has a page where it tells you how to read it and why the comic is different from regular comic books.


American comic books : I know this may sound weird but i think that American comic books are more difficult to read than Japanese comic books, or maybe its cuz i dont know what to write right now about american comic books even though i did read an article about it :p . Well American comic books have adverisments , they're colored and you always read them from left to right. While American comic books have names that almost always give you the exact idea of what it is about , Japanese comic books leave you wanting to know more about them and wanting to know why the creater gave it such a name. Some examples of that are : D.N.Angel , Boys over Flowers, Death note, Bleach, Fairy cube ...etc.


Compare:
Both are comic books of course, People enjoy reading them, they're entertaining and sometimes Tv series are made that are based off the comic books.


A Japanese comic ( Manga) : D.N.Angel
