Just leaving a comment: This line "The history of manga is said to originate from scrolls dating back to the 12th century, and it is believed they represent the basis for the right-to-left reading style" is just awful. It really needs careful consideration. 1) Is said by whom? Are you referring to Choju Giga? If so, why not say so? I'd rather you didn't though, as this is an incredibly loose use of "manga" as meaning any comic image.... If you say "manga in the sense of comic image" though, you could get away with it. 2) The "basis of the right-to-left reading style" comment is just horrendously bad!! I mean laughably, ridicule-worthy awful! Have you never heard of China?? Right-to-left is the norm for reading Chinese texts, transferred to Japan, and of course this norm converts to reading images. Moreover, there are scrolls WAY before the 12th century that are visual and read right to left, such as the 9th c Karma Scroll. 3) Be creative. |

As I noticed that the manga industry is worth several billion US dollars something unexpected was drawn irreversibly to my attention, and what I found is: that the US dollars can be divided in parts while the Japanese yen is a simple large number. It is 3.6 versus 406.

The subtext: "‹ The template below (Culture of Japan) is being considered for merging with Japan topics. See templates for discussion to help reach a consensus. ›" is causing the whole article to shift below 3 infoboxes. Please move the section just below hatnote to fix this.

Partly done: I removed the template entirely since I couldn't find another feasible way to keep it in and also make the article look decent. IMO it's more disruptive than not in its current state at TfD with that subtext. However, if someone else has a better solution, feel free to do it. jolielover♥talk 04:22, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

Sidebars and navboxes
There are 4 sidebars and 5 navboxes in this article. I think that's way more than enough navigation aids.
I despise sidebars; they cause issues with MOS:SANDWICH and prevent us from including more pictures in articles by taking up space for tangential content. grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 04:20, 27 September 2025 (UTC)
