ICv2.com GN Conference: Graphic Novels Up And Manga Down For 2008

That's a fairly straightforward headline in that it contains all you really need to know. Here's the just-as-straightforward article. In terms of manga, I'd really like to hear more analysis of how the Twilight series drove traffic away from manga; that sounds way more correlative than causative. I'd at least expect to see a huge August plunge in manga sales when Twilight dropped its fourth book. I'd also like to see more series to series analysis, because it seems to me without stopping to check that some of the most popular series are getting up there in terms of age and that some have even ended. In terms of the GN sales, I'm fascinated by the thought that perennials drive most of these sales, although I'm not sure that speaks well of the newer material.
