Joel: A lot of Japanese adults read comic books. Do you find that strange at all? You said you read comic books too but I know in the United States, we think it's strange if you see an adult reading a comic book. Is it because the stories are different or because are you reading the same kind of story you would when you were a kid.
Tres: OK, to answer the first part of your question, when I first came over as a high school student in Japan I was quite shocked by how prolific 1 comic books were throughout all layers of society. I did not expect adults to read comic books, nor did I expect there to be comic books focusing on Japanese history, world history, cooking, what have you where you can actually learn useful information through a comic. I guess my understanding of a comic at the time was just sheer 2 pleasure, Superman or Spiderman, it's something that you grow out, sort of like pimples 3. You grow out of it.
But nowadays in the U.S. I think Japanese comic books have become more popular. Of course more adults save rare comics than kids. I mean, right, it's a pretty big. You can make a lot of money if you have really old comics. And I think Japanese comic books are starting to help the domestic 4 comics in the United States, by making it OK for adults to read comics because they can say listen this can be a satire 5 of modern day society, or this may speak to me because it's about homosexual issues, blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever.
Joel: OK, I think that's the difference. There's a whole bunch of different genres 6 than it seems like in the united states. In the United States there is just the super hero
Tres: Yeah, the super hero comics. And it's starting to change. I think the idea of Japan's comic book where you create a world as opposed to just one super hero character. In this world you can follow various characters, and I think you can, in a sense you become closer to the characters within a comic book.
