Anecdotally, the Korean webtoons tend to come out faster and have quite detailed color art. This is despite Japan's manga industry being famously shitty for the drawers. Wonder how they keep up the pace in Korea.
- nitwit005 4y agoI always assumed it was more about cost to print. Manga is often colored, it's just usually only grey and black colors. Nice color printing does cost a lot more.
- jaegrqualm 4y agoManga requires quite a bit of work for the editing and layout(no source on hand, but I've heard that it's the bulk of the time investment), which results in very nice to read pages, but webtoons just skip over that. Additionally, the standard for the amount of art/pagecount per release is deceptively much higher for manga, for better and for worse.
- langsoul-com 4y agoWebtoons are much shorter in pure content. There's TONS of padding. Also, pretty sure they shorten the chapters on purpose to make it have faster release cycles. Like have asian novels translated into English split the original into 3-5 parts. Then release multiple times a week or weekly.
- Blackthorn 4y agoSure but you still have to draw the padding. It shouldn't magically make it less work.
