I love seeing this. Here's my personal take on why Manga is beating the American comic market in English speaking countries 1. Manga is more accessible 2. Manga is more diversified 3. Related media 4. Manga is more show, less tell than comics 5. Publisher investment

@Sakuuda Agreed. The standout, character building episode for Toph was her actually being limited by her disability after she was kidnapped. Learning to recognize that she developed her skills through her disability over her life allowed her to learn metal bending.
