Been saying this for years.

Part of the journey of making manga / comics requires taking the ego out of it. The work should be focused on the characters & consumers.

The joy comes from making it &having real people BUYING it.

Saturday AM succeeds because we put the audience first not our fandom

Literally the best video our Founder, @frederickljones.bsky.social , has EVER seen on Youtube.

For once a serious, sober, well-researched piece on manga from folks who LIVED IT vs. those who didn't.

MATTT drops a banger on how MANGA BROKE the US COMICS MARKET.

WATCH IT:
youtu.be/W51QlQVWqwQ?...
The MATTT video on How Manga broke the US comics industry is an incredible documentary effort that is WELL WORTH the time of any SERIOUS FAN & LOVER of MANGA's growth in the second biggest market in the world!

One of our fastest sellers recently has been TITAN KING!

Young Eli Santos of Earth must WIN the TITAN KING tournament to keep the GALAXY FREE from a despotic ruler.

Planets, not nations. Monsters, not soccer balls. TITAN KING tournament, not World Cup.

BUY:
www.saturday-am.com/series/titan...
TITAN KING is one of Saturday AM's fastest-selling manga of late. An action fantasy battle manga that merges Dragonball style pyrokinetics with diverse settings and characters -- it's not the world cup since its' planets vs nations and titans vs soccer balls but the fate of the universe rests on who wins.

For 10+ yrs, Saturday AM has led the diverse manga space espousing a clear fact: black & brown people are a SIGNIFICANT portion of manga & anime fandom & want to see their stories told in that style ala global hip hop.

Check out this interview w/ our founder, @frederickljones.bsky.social
It's inevitable that diversity will win against the trolls, bigots, & Youtube grifters and Saturday AM's 10+ year record demonstrates this. Saturday AM is a haven for non-Japanese manga creators seeking to develop their own IP and tell their OWN STORIES in the manga style, just like Hip Hop. The Founder, Frederick L. Jones, has consistently stood up to a lack of resources, apathy, and outright anti-diversity bigotry to build the biggest brand in this space. Buy the latest issue, a special Manga Edition, of Amerime wire magazine featuring Saturday AM founder, Frederick L. Jones, on the cover.

AHEM.

Our founder has been saying for years that the manipulation of social media by individuals with ZERO EXPERIENCE but tons of ego and axes to grind will end.

The news today is just the tip of the iceberg.

Europe has been on this for a LONG TIME, as has Australia.

Bout to get real 4 some.
