Japanese manga artist - Saruta
"Although Japanese manga recently said to have become popular all over the world, I don't think so. The world market size of comics (including Japanese manga) is slight in comparison with movies and novels yet. I love Japanese manga and would like to let more foreign people know the attraction of it. Under the circumstances, manga is mediated between translation agencies and other publishers until it is sold in foreign countries. So it takes much time and the price also becomes expensive. My ultimate purpose is that Japanese manga in various languages is published at the same time and price worldwide on the internet." - read our interview with Saruta on The Crazy Mind magazine.
