How much text do you want in your manga? I don’t even mind something like tier 4, as long as the dialogue isn’t lazy exposition. Gintama was text heavy(it kind of needed to be) and it never detracted from the series for me
>>63867 *meant to be tier 3 Fuck I’m an idiot
>>63871 >Fuck I’m an idiot Well yeah you posted a bait image with edited pages but I guess that's just what this place is. No point in engaging with a single thread here huh
There's definitely something in between 1 and 2
between 1 and 2. art is really important. it won't save bad writing (like the one punch man manga) but it needs to be good enough
>>63867 Tier 4 is usually known as a book, and it is often considered the superior form of the art Anyway, tier 3 is best with writers you like, and tier 2 is best with skim reading

>>63867 I think any amount of text is fine. I love novels, and I love manga, and art is great too though I'm not a fine arts connoisseur or anything. Anything in between - anything on the spectrum - anything with a ratio of text to art is completely fine with me, whether it's the most text-filled Togashi page or the most artistic no-dialogue arthouse page. I also think people who complain about too much text don't have a leg to stand on. >just write a book There's nothing that governs how much text a manga can have. As a great medium that is both visuals and text, you can use as many/much of either as you want, and vary it too, and that's what makes it great.
>>63919 Hhmmmm yes, very wise
>>63933 So you would consider manga as more a vessel then an artistic tradition?
>>63933 The actual content of the text itself matters most. If it’s just a page of boring exposition, then to me you’re not only utilizing the medium poorly but also writing lazily. Something like CSM part 2 on the other hand would benefit from more dialogue between Denji and Asa. A lot of times, it feels as if Fujimoto is just lazily reusing panels to fill up page space. The muh cinematic paneling does nothing for me since the art declined hard
>>63867 despite fugimoto's faults I'd much rather 1 than the 3 or 2 pushed to it's extremes like we've been seeing in elbaf
1.5 is perfect Kill hunter trannies and their shit mangaka
>>63977 >Middle of the road >okama normalisation You should go outside Spend less time trying to make yourself look big
>>63940 I guess so yeah, but I don't really know what you mean by vessel. I just see it as a medium, so you can do whatever you want within that medium? >>63974 Yeah I feel you.
>>64091 That is exactly what I meant by vessel A thing to contain the artists intention The flesh of an art-being
>>64109 Oookay, I don't really get the flesh of an art-being part, but yes I think I agree with you on the vessel part now.
>>63978 But then bears will attack me
