Almost everything can be considered art. I remember a few months back someone asked a similar question about music, my answer was yes: anything that makes use of one's own abilities to craft any sort of content is, in my book, worthy of being called art. Manga is art. Grafitty is art. Cooking, dancing, writing, etc. It is all art. The only difference is how each is being viewed by society, and that's just subjective.
Like previously stated; Many things are considered art. I find Manga to be a type of art, just a different style. Anything someone took the time to create to make others happy is art to me. In fact I also find languages a type of art. So yes, manga is art ^^ An amazing art at that! ^^
ok go tell that to some teachers XD manga is art but many of them still dont accept it, especially art teachers -.- i wrote an essay about it and then i nearly told them 'ha! in your faces' nihihihih
What are your opinions on the matter, I'd like to hear them.
i just watched this:
of course it is an art form and if u dont agree watch that video ^^
I mean seriously, just go and watch 5 cm/s. It isn't known as 5 wallpapers per second for nothing after all...
Agreed.
