appManga has been around for decades & it is a big part of the Japanese culture. Around a decade ago, people all around the world started getting into the habit of reading manga, and as a result, they are available in languages other than Japanese today. Hence, it’s fairly easy to get your hands on one. However, it’s still not as big as comics or novels. That’s why their availability is still limited outside of Japan.
