The stories told in Japanese manga and anime are “incredibly powerful” as compared to Western comics, DC Comics president Jim Lee recently has said, adding that American comics lack the same flavour. During a conversation with specialised Japanese digital media platform Nikkei XTrend, Lee said, “The stories told in Japanese manga and anime are incredibly powerful. So I’m very happy that the manga has been so successful, because it gives me a ‘goal’ to aim for. Not only is there a wide range of genres, but adults also read manga and watch anime. As a culture, it’s an ‘art’ that isn’t limited to a specific age group,” Lee explained.
