you’re the most underrated youtuber i have ever seen

This was really awesome! I'd love to see a followup video taking about the manga rental market and how manga led into Gekiga with more serious/adult themed story telling!

I come back to this video every month or sumn like that

Your videos are one of the most enjoyable and refreshing entertainment I watch when I want to relax. I'm hyped for the next episode of this series

Always a joy when I see you've uploaded. Your writing, editing and approach to creative storytelling is improving with each upload and it's fascinating and enjoyable to follow the journey of your work. It inspires me to continue working on my video essay on The Lighthouse. Thank you for entertaining me and exposing me to new art!

Dude when I was about to check your sub count, I was expecting like 2 mil after I watched the vid it’s so high quality. I felt like I was in history class but much more interesting UNDERRATED

Really good video! Can see the amount of time that went into putting this together!

thank you very much. this helped a lot with my school project on the history of manga

Your best video yet. Can't wait for the rest of the series. I'm especially interested in when we get to Nagai Go basically creating the seinen genre, and how Jump was made to be a dumping ground of his works

I'm a big fan of Mashima

20:16 A very intriguing scene. I suppose that this clearly expresses through manga the narrative of the time that Japan drove out China from the Korean Peninsula and established it as an independent nation. Norakuro is the guard dog, representing the Empire of Japan. The sheep symbolize the weak Korean Peninsula, and the act of driving out the pig (China) reflects Japan's pre-war narrative. I believe this scene captures the atmosphere of that era very well. By the way, after World War II, when Taiwan was separated from Japanese rule, a large number of Chinese (remnants of the Kuomintang) entered Taiwan and established a regime. The Taiwanese were astonished by their violent behavior, and I have heard that the following expression became popular: "When the dogs left, the pigs came."

Welcome back!!! 🙋‍♂️

Extremely entertaining and informing video. One addition i would have appreciated was if you showed the years you were talking about onscreen at the time. Maybe add this if you make another timeline style video. Maybe that’s just me though lol :)

Great video!

This is a fine piece of work, bravo!

You should look the video of Eike Exner into the origins of manga, he refutes the theory of the link of pre war "loose drawings" with post war multi panel pantomime cartoons

This is an interesting idea for a series. I've always been fascinated by the evolution of various art forms across time, and so this was a great introduction to the history of manga. Great video, dude!

Hi great vid

AMAZING VID

Looking forward to more stuff like this, thanks for the info! very well put together :D

excellent video

I really enjoyed this video and I'm looking forward to more in the series!

Such a great vid!

I loved it! Very well documented

@Archangel Manga brought me here. Also, I love this Trails in the Sky music playing in the backround. Great video!

7:45

Interesting🙂

First video I've seen of yours, you got my sub! Great video can't wait for part 2!

Did Sazae-san inspire creation of the Snoopy characters? I don’t know which came first but Snoopy characters seem like an extension of Sazae-san character profiles

so bassicaly, Its way older than i thought...

fantastic video

Inuyasha was the first manga I read, I have yet to read the rest of the manga though.

Really thorough and informative one thanks mate, i watched another video today who claimed that manga was entirely created by western influences in the early 1900s and that they bear no similarities to Japanese ancient art, what are your thoughts on this take? The video is called the real history of manga or something if you want to look it up

10:24 perhaps calling them "manga magazines" at that point is a little far fetched, aren't they more like satirical caricatures?

Who came here after seeing Eike Exner say "Manga started in the early 1900s when Japanese newspapers copied American newspapers"?

I saw Alita (・ᴗ・)🤍
