Is Manga is winning because it treats audiences as "readers" rather than "collectors"?

Is the "Golden Age" of superheroes officially over? Today the mandem are joined by Big Miko to settle the ultimate debate: why is Manga outselling the entire US comic industry by millions of copies?

In this episode of Nani Talks, we break down the "shortfall" of Western comics, from the confusing barrier to entry for new readers to the superior Manga-to-Anime pipeline that creates a global cultural economy. We explore how Manga titles like Demon Slayer and Sakamoto Days are reaching diverse demographics that Marvel and DC have left behind. Big Miko weighs in on whether American comics have lost their soul to "collector culture" while Manga focused on telling stories that actually resonate with the people-dem. Whether you're a hardcore Otaku or a casual reader, this deep dive into the 2026 anime scene is one you can't miss.

Has anime lost its soul now that it's mainstream? The mandem debate the pros and cons of the industry explosion. Plus, things get heated in the most chaotic Anime Alphabet Game yet.

Welcome back to Nani Talks Episode 9.2! We are still rolling with the viral sensation Big Miko. First up, we tackle the "Mainstream Dilemma." Is it a good thing that everyone and their grandma watches anime now, or are we losing the culture that made it special? We discuss the "money-hungry" energy entering the industry and what we miss about the gatekeeping era.

Then, it's war. We play the Anime Alphabet Game (A-Z Challenge). The rules are simple: Name a character for every letter, 4 wrong or non answered letters and you're out. Each failed attempt will recieve a letter towards the word NANI. Play along in the comments and see if you can beat the mandem.
