Why do so many manga magazines have pretty girls on them instead of, you know, manga?

I love old magazines because the girls were cuter back then as well.
Tyler Turner
Maybe advertisement deals or something. Plus it's probably a lot easier to use a photo. I imagine drawing a cover takes more time and money.
Gabriel Lee
there's nothing more attractive than young girls
you want to attract people to your magazine so they pick it up and look at it
Benjamin Gomez
Nobody fucking cares about some shitty manga on the cover unless it's WSJ or something like Conan, pretty girls - that's the stuff people are looking for.

>Hai, Bogudanoffu-Dono?
>Yes, OP is at it again, onegaishimasu.

Nice try
You want me to say something political (or apolitical) and I’ll get a dozen replies saying “fuck you”
Fuck you

Because no matter how much you faggots cry 3dpd, seeing a hot girl will always awaken a primal desire within.
Grayson Cooper
because they are aimed at horny young males, not kids.
Then there are those aimed at herbivorous adult males that only have cute girls doing cute things on the cover.
Xavier Gomez
How is a kid who just wants to read his favorite comics supposed to explain this to their parents?
Christian Walker
you know there is a reason why otaku are looked down on, right? They're the lowest common denominator
Carson Cruz
It's a seinen magazine.

Those are the normalfag manga magazines. Otaku focused ones are usually look like
Nolan Ross
>Look, mom. I'm not gay.
Justin Ortiz
>pretty
Luis Lopez
It's easier/faster/cheaper to take a picture than to draw a full color cover. The best magazines have drawn covers.
It also gives you an excuse. It's like Playboy having articles.
Lucas Adams
>normalfags: young, virile men that are attracted to women
>otakus: old, herbivore "men" that probably have ED
Normalfags winning.
Andrew Fisher
>America: hey I buy Playboy for the articles, not the girls in the skimpy bikinis
>Japan: hey, I buy manga for the girls in the skimpy bikinis, not the 2d waifus
Lincoln Parker
This is common in seinen magazines. Manga are only a part. The half naked girls aren't only on the cover.
Cooper Lopez
this isn't
Julian Anderson
>iruma-kun
thats a fujo mag, user
Jacob Harris
why would fujos want gravure model posters?
Gabriel Ward
to keep people from realizing its a fujo mag. A lot of fujo mags pretend to be shounen for this reason
Adrian Carter
This might be a shock to you, but most manga readers don't have a 2D complex.
Landon Williams
Don't think prude/christian parents are as common over there like in the US
Joseph Phillips
because they're adult magazines, retard. Manga are usually published in those magazines to advertise their tankobons in a way but the primary focus of these magazines is to feature JAVs/calendar girls.

>some kid picks it up at the conbini
>"why this shit gayer than jojo"

There's 5 pages of gravure vs 300 pages of manga.
