The importance of any single subject in the overall sum of human knowledge is actually minute. Presuming you actually mean the relative importance, the value of manga is much larger than some other subjects. I say this because it is both a significant element of contemporary Japanese culture both in Japan and abroad. It is at least as significant, and arguably more so, than the American Marvel Comics, DC Comics, etc combined. Whether this image is a good representation of the genre is an entirely different question. Just like whether you think http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Retman.png is a good image to represent western comics or not does not mean you think the genre is significant or not. ---- Chris McKenna cmcke...@sucs.org www.sucs.org/~cmckenna The essential things in life are seen not with the eyes, but with the heart Antoine de Saint Exupery _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list Commons-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
