>But I always saw France as more gekiga, garo, Ax, alternative manga leaning (market wise). Am I wrong?
Nah man, supposedly the 4 biggest selling titles in France are OP, DB, Naruto and fucking Fairy Tail of all things. Old French people liked stuff like Harlock, Cobra, Fist of the North Star and City Hunter but the latter 2 had joke dubs. I think it's only the niche fans who like the Gekiga stuff in France, same as everywhere else.

France also love Jiro Taniguchi and Katsuhiro Otomo it seems. Taniguchi seems to be more loved in France than Japan but again, only amongst the older age group it seems.
