We all know the stereotype that western comics are hard to get into because of all the different versions/retcons/reboots written by different writers (whereas with manga/anime, you just start at chapter/episode 1), but what are some Japanese properties that have that exact same problem?

Naruto

gundam
maybe precure too

Jojo?

Y

All mainlines?

cgdct have almost exactly the same plot and key events with some stylistic differences and a few setting novelties so I'm gonna argue for them

>>279835135 (OP)
Jojo, Lupin, anything with "parts". Obviously the solution is to still start at the first one, but people still want to skip.

The problems with non-Japanese comics are way more than that. Mediocre art, ugly character designs, lacking of genre diversity, mostly being read by children just to name a few.

ugliness is intentional though to some extent, the japs have hyperfocused on cute while the western approach was mostly towards humour

Non-Japanese comics have tons of genre diversity. It isn't all superhero stuff, that doesn't even make up half of western comics

How is this a problem, audience means absolutely nothing. Most of the shit /a/ discusses is aimed at children
