But does calling these comics by int’l creators “manga” create barriers to acceptance by readers? I often see pointless bickering abt “if it’s not from Japan, it’s not manga” on social media. Ppl aren’t as prissy about “webtoons must be by Korean artists to be webtoons” are they?
Many of the comics creators mentioned in @J_Lachasse’s article about manga-inspired comics in France have titles available in English! Radiant by Tony Valente is available from @vizmedia and The Breath of Flowers by Caly is published by @TOKYOPOP

Originally formatted as a vertical scroll webtoon comic, Romantic Killer is a full-color manga fr @shojobeat. Love the way it makes fun of shojo manga tropes - especially when it shouts out Kaiji and Golgo 13 at the weirdest moments https://t.co/cZmBEZuMSX
Hahaha! @nfntrobin was right - Romantic Killer is a hoot - a hardcore gamer girl gets recruited by a fairy to live a life filled with hot guys, just like a shojo manga. Trouble is, she has absolutely no interest in romance. https://t.co/cZmBEZuMSX
