One Pieces Fishman Island arc is pretty much all about civil rights (in general, not based on America). Id even argue that they were a bit preaching with it at points, but it wasnt really annoying. It manages to blend in well with the story. Honestly, one of the primary antagonists in the entire story is a corrupt government. They just manage to blend it in naturally with the story. That image of yours is egregious. It isnt wrong to be political in comics, in fact, Im pretty sure a good amount of comics always were. But there are many examples of it being awkwardly placed. It doesnt really inspire anyone, even when I (pretty much always) agree with the statement. People tolerate political stories that give them room to interpret and even misinterpret. Modern western comics beat you over the head without using any literary symbolism anymore. Like they think their audience is too stupid to understand any real world parallel unless it's 1:1 on a page. --- Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. <cite>ThePrinceFish posted [p:963052999] in Manga sale...
