Disney Manga(s) again

[Olaf Solstrand]

Just the lame question from the stupid Norwegian knowing really nothing about 
manga: Is there a hugee difference between the Italian WITCH and the Japanese 
WITCH?

Disney being Disney, I have an obnoxious feeling that manga WITCH will not be 
printed in Norway... Aw, I'm getting very close to the point where I'm willing 
to learn Japanese now. (Whew, that's not bad concidering I read my first manga 
ever YESTERDAY.)

Out of pure curiosity; does anyone know what the sales figures of Disney mangas 
in Japan is, and how well this is compared to other manga(s)?

Best,

Olaf the Blue

This week a new monthly magazine came out in Norway, "Manga Mania". If I 
understand the advertising correctly, this is the first time in history that 
manga is printed in Norwegian. The magazine contains the manga(s) "Love 
Hina", "GTO", "Blade of Immortal" and "Chobits" - and, just like all other 
comics from the big publishers *), "Manga Mania" is available in every local 
grocery store.

*) "Manga Mania" is published by Bladkompaniet, the second-biggest comic 
publisher in Norway and Egmont's worst enemy, which are also publishing - among 
other comics - the "Pondus" magazine, Norway's second biggest comic (following 
Donald Duck & Co.) and the Norwegian "Rocky" magazine ("Rocky" being the comic 
by Swedish Martin Kellerman). So, this is NOT a young and experiencing 
publisher selling manga to please a few selected people - this is one of the 
big boys in the class!

.which is the reason why _I'm_ suddenly so interested in manga. It's suddenly 
very, very available.
