Why isn't there a manga board?

Why aren't LNs and WNs allowed on /a/?

>>157323450
This is the manga board, you goof.

Because /a/ exists and manga and anime have a lot of overlap due to a sizeable portion of anime being adapted from manga. If you wanted a board just for manga that don't have anime adaptations you'd be left with fuck all for topics and would have a dead board. Getting your own board wouldn't magically make people more interested in reading less popular manga, if your threads fall off of /a/ in less than a day all having their own board would do is let them linger with under 100 posts for weeks before expiring.

>>157323450
I ponder this every time I come in here.

>make a manga thread
>thread gets pushed off the board by waifushit in less than 30 minutes

Yeah, epic. It's like trying to talk about books in comic store.

>>157325616
Sour grapes.

>>157323613
LNs are not allowed, really? I seen some LNs threads and they were never deleted by mods.

>>157325663
Nice allegory. I bet you feel smart now.

>>157325616
Read better manga.

>>157325807
Like One Piece and Dragonball?

>>157325761
Thanks, I do.

>>157325760
In the same right, don't you also see some other threads which should be deleted by mods, which aren't? If someone makes something super-blatant like "LN thread - what are you reading", it'll get deleted. Otherwise, the mod/janitor will see the OP, assume it's some obscure manga, and let the report go.

>>>/jp/

>>157323450
Wouldn't be a big enough userbase.
Sadly.
The fact that manga discussion on /a/ is pretty much limited to one-page-threads should tell you all there is to know.

>>157325950
There were threads named like 'konosuba/rezero ln translation' and I don't think they got deleted. It might be that as long as ln is adapted into anime or manga it gets pass.

>this series will never finish because artist's contract expired and left the publishing company

What a buzzkill.

The artist/author (pic) was supposedly in a hiatus for health related reasons

>>157327978
But wouldn't they still keep her under contract? Or was the health reasons so bad she literally had to terminate it and stop long term?

A manga board would be like, 80% generals.

>>157328035
It would at least get those generals off of /a/.

There's a dead board for fucking origami and you can't have a board solely for manga?

>>157328024
dunno, but supposedly her next work is "The Silent Godzilla" , if anyone can read or is chink, here → http://weibo.com/april44

>>157328163
If /po/ didn't exist and someone today said "we should have an origami board," do you seriously think it'd ever happen?

>>157328163
Why not take over the origami board with manga posts

>>157328171
>can't even run weibo cause way too many shockwave plugins

So that means Song of Long March really has no chance of ever coming back huh? Since she's completely moved on. Dang the closest thing to it I found is Military Empress and that's just text without the beautiful art.

>>157323450
it would be too comfy

>>157328217
Ordinarily I'd say no but the other day somebody said "we should have another /b/ clone" and Hiro put /bant/ in, so anything's possible I guess.

>>157323450
Do you prefer anime or manga?

I just want a fucking board with a reduced post timer for storytimes/new chapter dumping. No matter how you look at it, mangos are definitely sidelined here.

>>157326517
> if a board isn't fast it shouldn't exist

dumbass

Because manga is inferior to anime.

>>157328422
/bant/ is a containment board for flag shitposting. Every flag board has been improving in quality since the advent of /bant/.

Manga was a mistake

>>157323613
because LNs/WNs are not anime/manga

Manga threads already die a slow painful death. A separate manga board would be slowed than /i/
Big manga are an exception.

The reason is pretty simple, OP: It would become obvious what an obnoxious, retarded crowd anime watchers on /a/ are.

It will be One Piece/Naruto/OPM general board.

This is correct.

>>157325616
The real problem is that most waifu threads need to be on /c/ or /e/, rather than /a/.

There should be one, I don't care if it's slow, as long as I don't have to trudge through "X is for ___" "what X would you Y" and other shitposts.

>>157333138
Exactly.

>>157331593
This, that's basically the whole point of this proposal.

>It's a well known fact that board speed is inversely proportional to board quality
>Neither /a/ nor /v/ have been split to the point of reaching reasonable speeds
What did hiroshima mean by this?
