Granted, I am a girl who has always liked comics, who worshiped X-Men and Spiderman when they were Saturday morning cartoons. I am also a proud geek. But I don't think manga is any 'cooler' than comics, it's just different, foreign, so some girls might try and fool themselves into thinking they're more worldly for reading them. <br /><br />I wish more girls gave everything a try and found what they liked out of the mass available, not just rifling through manga because it's cool.<br /><br />Oh well. I think the flux of comic book movies has been helping. Awesome blog! Just wrote about comic book women myself.
