I hope I can say this without getting attacked by manga fans, but I can't effort manga, they are way too expensive to me. If I pay more for a manga than for two books, while I read the book 20 times longer, it doesn't feel like good investment to me. I know there's a lot of time spend on creating nice art and I too spend a few seconds admiring a good page, but that's about it. Anime is not much better, I don't enjoy spending hundreds of Euro or a thousand, for a series I watch once or twice.
