As an avid manga reader, I've experienced firsthand the frustration and disappointment of finding stickers placed between the pages of my books. Removing these stickers often results in fuzzy, damaged pages that mar my reading experience. This is not just a personal issue; it's a problem faced by countless manga enthusiasts worldwide.

Manga is more than just comic books; it's a form of art and storytelling that has gained immense popularity globally. According to a report by Research and Markets, the global manga market was valued at $18.92 billion in 2019 (source: Research and Markets). It's disheartening to see this art form disrespected through careless sticker placement.

We are calling on all bookstores to change their practice of placing stickers within manga pages. Instead, we propose these stickers be placed on the end of the manga cover where there isn't any content - this simple shift would prevent unnecessary damage while still allowing for necessary inventory management.

By signing this petition, you're supporting not only me but also countless other readers who want their mangas preserved in their original condition. Let's protect our beloved mangas from avoidable harm! Please sign this petition today.
