I’m reading through this opinion piece and I think this writer put to words how many people in the webtoon space are feeling about the English/non-Korean and non-Japanese webtoon creators. I’ve seen several

discussion threads on Reddit about this exact feeling:

“But I haven’t seen a new comic advertised to me that I actually wanted to click on in years (unless it’s a new comic from a creator I was already following.)”

I didn’t even know that Tapas didn’t have English language originals anymore? Though I stopped using that platform many years ago.

There’s a chart looking at Baidu Search (kinda like Google Search). I’ve had a theory that Toei has been pushing ONE PIECE and Dragon Ball hard in the US because the franchises are dying or dead among younger Chinese people.

Honestly I wonder if Japanese anime is dying because of all the censorship. I grew up in Hong Kong but that’s so far away from Mainland culture. I didn’t see many people talk about these two series.
