I thought that the manga and anime section at Bookman's exemplified how America has really embraced Japanese entertainment. Manga and anime are huge here, big enough that they get their own section at bookstores. There are even whole conventions devoted to manga/anime. I think that both genres are really important in connecting Americans with Japanese culture. Even though it is not the most accurate representation of that culture, it gives some sort of insight and understanding for Americans to a very different culture from their own. Plus, they can be very well done!
