Second French Market Study Positive

The news clearinghouse ActuaBD.com takes a look at a second study of the French-language comics market for 2009 by research company GfK, a study that indicates slight growth rather than a slight turndown in troubled economic times, with classic series performing extremely well, new graphic novels performing better than some expected and a slight dip in manga series sales. The latest Asterix and Blake and Mortimer books were 1-2 with Zep's Happy Sex coming in third. The best-selling series was Naruto. It's funny to me that the report directly cites the changing mall footprint in France and the resulting diminished exposure kids have to manga compared to years past, when that question went unanswered when ICv2.com put it to an American manga company executive.
