Japanese Manga are being eclipsed by Korean webtoons
Advertising has a large part to play here as well:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;icv2.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;news&#x2F;view&#x2F;43985&#x2F;webtoon-comics-platform-running-multi-million-dollar-ad-campaign-tv-web-theaters-outdoor" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;icv2.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;news&#x2F;view&#x2F;43985&#x2F;webtoon-comics-pla...</a><p>And it&#x27;s not just this one company: I don&#x27;t read comics of any description (with the arguable exception of xkcd), but at one point my social media ads were saturated with borderline-NSFW spam for Korean porn comics.  I was genuinely surprised the ads was allowed by the Google&#x2F;Meta morality police, and after enough not interested&#x2F;not appropriate reports it did stop as suddenly as it started.  Or maybe they just ran out of ad budget?
