As for color issue, the only thing I can think of is that it's expensive to have everything colored. So, in the case with Wicked Lovely and Hush, Hush, the manga is referred its appearance.Rummanah Aasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119402559076729383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-32159657471179832332012-03-27T00:32:58.835-05:002012-03-27T00:32:58.835-05:00It took me several volumes to get used to the writ...It took me several volumes to get used to the writing style. The page turning was easy to understand. What I had trouble getting was knowing what order to read the blocks on each page. Because sometimes it didn't follow the obvious pattern that the examples show.Alison Can Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908868606441539344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-42108107255101514002012-03-26T22:49:53.922-05:002012-03-26T22:49:53.922-05:00I have to admit that it took several tries before ...I have to admit that it took several tries before I could read even the first few pages of the first manga book(?) I tried. Then I had to ask for help.<br /><br />Then I got one of the Wicked Lovely Desert Tales that is part of the Wicked Lovely series by Melissa Marr. It is about one of the characters that Keenan meets while he's wandering in his funk but we don't get to hear about it. She was the Winter Girl before Donia. Anyway, I'm pretty sure it's published by Tokyo Pop but it reads front to back. It's was in color. Which is it?<br /><br />And here's a question. Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick just released a graphic novel? Black and white read front to back right? Why aren't graphic novels in color?<br /><br />Heather<br /><br />Oh and GREAT! graphics on how to read a manga! What gets really confusing is when the squares change size and you're trying to figure out if that's the next one to go to or not. But I am enjoying your tutorials very much!BURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-85920627303270273092012-03-26T17:20:27.209-05:002012-03-26T17:20:27.209-05:00The pictures are so helpful and make it really cle...The pictures are so helpful and make it really clear what you mean, Rummanah.

I would have been thoroughly confused if I'd picked one up without being aware of that! I would think that takes some getting used to, but like anything else, I'm sure becomes second nature once you read enough of them.
