[QUOTE="Bumbles, post: 4794690, member: 83457"] Same attraction as crossword puzzles, poker tournaments, auto races for some. For others, it could be the art, or the collections. Some people even like the story involved! Believe it or not! Tell that to the people making the game, especially the story parts. They have come up with some excellent themes which I have shamelessly cribbed for my games. Sure, you could just stick with the bare mechanics of the game, and play it that way (and the same applies to D&D for some!), but you can also engage your mind with Akroma. Gerrard. Nicol Bolas. Mishra and Urza. Take a look at Bosh, Slobad and Glissa. Learn exactly what Konda, Lord of Eiganjo took. Figure out the patterns of Ravnica, Lorwyn or Alara. Then maybe you can see what you can imagine with Magic. Well, I haven't seen a kid reading at all today. I saw some at the store, but they were shopping with their parents. But I know my nephew LOVES getting non-fiction books on subjects like Dinosaurs, Pirates, the Hindenburg and more. He also loves Pokemon. I don't know what he's read today, he's several hundred miles away so I've not actually seen him reading recently either. Yeah, but they didn't take space away from the RPGs to make room for those Manga. If anything, it's the sci-fi and fantasy novels that suffered from it. But then Manga is a very diverse industry, covering all sorts of subjects from romance, to fighting fiction, to stuff that's better left unmentioned. And since it's published in volumes, it tends to take up a bit of space with duplicates too. Try getting more datapoints. Maybe all the other kids are at the library with the homeless folks. PS, I bet you'd eventually hear some of the manga customers complaining about older things they wanted not being stocked either! The HORROR! Funny, I find it easier. True story. [/QUOTE]
