Goddamn frikkin mini poll...totally sharky, complete
im so happy that this time people are actually using my mini-poll. anyway, to be totally honest there is no real right answer because all those listed aspects are very integral in a good graphic novel. from what people voted- layout and symbolism (i would never have thought that people would actually choose this) seem to be the most important aspects of a manga.
layout is very important because it allows the reader to follow and enjoy the story, being able to read it and not get confused.
intrigue is very important as it gathers the interest of the reader and keeps them following for the whole series- it arrouses their curiosity.
drame is equally as important as it creates a truly engrossing story that captures the imagination of the reader.
suspence is a great part of a good manga as it keeps you turning the pages, looking forward so desperately to what happens next- amazingly gripping stuff that keeps you interested.
symbolism is more of an aspect for older readers as a mature mind finds it easier to comprehend the hidden meanings behind a picture, its not toally neccesary but it adds a whole new dimension of depth to a graphic novel...very cool as youll see when i start uploading the roughs for my graphic novel.

thats my fill for today, have a great rest of week.
