Comic books are not art—they’re a delivery system for narrative time.

Taishō Roman wasn’t a movement — it was a 1978 museum exhibition with a name that stuck.

Illuminated manuscripts weren’t for reading—they were for owning heaven on earth.

Tezuka didn’t invent manga—he weaponised it as cinema on paper, then taught others how to do the same.

Manga isn’t Japanese comics—it’s a 12th-century art form that got renamed, repackaged, and rebranded three times before becoming a magazine industry.
