ICv2.com: Most Powerful Manga List
ICv2.com offers up a "Most Powerful" list for North American manga industry personages to go along with other, related lists, something I haven't seen since someone did this for North American comics I think back in the mid-'90s.
Beyond all the usual problems with list-making, a power list for comics has the additional problem in that certain corporate entities tend to get so big that one always suspects that a true breakdown would be dominated by people at one or perhaps two companies. Plus, there's a chance for people to make a name for themselves that carries weight with the public that might not translate to power within a company or industry.
Still, it's a good article for those of us that are terrible at covering manga to make flash cards from which we can start to remember various major players, or to test ourselves by forcing us to come up with reasons as to why or why not the placement is justified. And, of course,
people are talking about it.
