For comics, idk but for manga specifically the second country is France.
Yeah, I think these stats are bs, some people are also debunking the taco bit.
According to Wikipedia, France is about 40% of the European market and I don't think Japanese read much western comics, so I don't think that's what we talk about.
In my perception this French anomaly comes from two factors :
- There was a French TV segment in the 90s called "club Dorothé" that imported a lot of Japanese animation, initially because it was cheaper that producing or importing other TV shows. This got a whole generation addicted to mangas and now it's just part of culture.
- There is an actual cultural proximity between France and Japan, the most obvious part being the obsession about food.
Maybe I'm a Norwegian and I just never knew...?
Am I reading this wrong, or are apart from the Pepsi thing all per capita facts? How is this surprising you don't need a large population for that.
And yet, they closed the Noway ride 'Maelstrom' at Epcot. I'm still sad.
Pretty sure California eats more tacos
Skjera bagera
So does that mean America is 3rd in the taco eating? 🤔
I honestly have trouble believing that, real talk.
My contributions alone make me feel like we're numba one. 😤
