Tamiflu says
“Unlike American comics, manga is scene-oriented and American comics are action-oriented,” he says. “A good example of the scene versus action: In American comics when people are talking at the breakfast table, they will have a picture of the person talking. In a Japanese comic, they’ll have a picture of the tea with the steam coming off of it. That sets the scene for what’s going on. It has a much more expansive feel.”
