>compared to western neckbeards who are focused on gaming right now.
Anon, I hate to tell you this, but a lot of those western gaming neckbeards also read manga.
And therein lies the real issue.
There's no real overlap with comics and other industries outside of cartoons.
Hell, a lot of my own exposure to manga was seeing random shit dumped on /v/ back in the mid-late 2000s, because a lot of the people who like gaming also tend to like manga.
Comics (and cartoons) focused exclusively on the same audience so much that even when they branch out to other mediums they end up focusing almost solely on that audience. The only time this wasn't the case was with movies, and they've fucked that up majorly in recent years.
