Colonel Otaku Gatekeeper, a fake "Japanese nationalist" account that is actually a British person, is facing a backlash from Japanese internet users after arguing that foreign authors shouldn't be allowed to publish manga in Japan.
Many Japanese manga fans see the industry as a meritocracy and are open consuming any high quality manga, even if it is created by someone who was not born in Japan. If the manga is written and drawn in an engaging style that appeals to Japanese readers, fans welcome it.
