From what I've seen most professionals in the American comics industry have no idea why manga and anime are so popular here in North America; many of them are outright dismissive of manga and anime in their entirety and belittle readers who do like manga and anime. I think I've seen maybe one discussion re: why girls and women are purchasing Asian comics, cartoons, etc., and the conclusion was basically "I have no idea why."
