Manga in the NYT
The New York Times today published an article on the popularity of manga in the US titled "Girl Power Fuels Manga Boom in U.S." It's a fairly solid article, although it doesn't contain any new information. The title is fairly deceptive too, as it's more of a piece about manga in general than about the popularity of manga among female readers. The article mentions that manga's accessibility to a wider readership is one of the elements that's helping manga's sales, although it doesn't have any definite facts or figures to back up the assertion. I've seen a number of articles and news stories that mention how manga appeals to women, but like the Times piece they all seem to rely on anecdotal evidence.
