[EXCERPT] . . . .

The research was consistent in showing that both of these media have become part of Japanese culture and both have experienced enormous increases in their popularity in Japan and abroad, especially in the United States where some analysts estimate that manga is outselling traditional comic books by a factor of 50 to 1. Two especially interesting issues emerged from the research, with the first being the growing popularity of these media among young girls who have traditionally eschewed comic books and action movies, and the fact that manga publishers do not expect to do any better than break even on their periodicals but must wait until they have collected at least ten chapters of a story in order to publish it in a graphic novel format to realize a profit. Nevertheless, both of these issues have translated to increased overall profitability for the industry and most analysts expect to see continued growth well into the foreseeable future.
