Re: question about my friend...

Oh absolutely. However, contrary to popular belief, almost none of the best series involve tentacles or anything typical of non-pornographic manga. I'm not sure why that is, but I'd guess it's because readers would rather read sex fantasies about normal people and places from day-to-day life. Rather than fantasy settings, I was surprised to discover that the only impossible things depicted in the greatest masterpieces, are the logical impossibility of the amount of sexual activity and freedom, and the physical impossibility of the attractiveness of the characters.

Comics are written and drawn by people who are incredibly talented at drawing and writing. Porn films are made by people whose talent is that their boobs are big. So it should come as no surprise that some of the women in porn comics are exponentially more intelligent, wittier, more charming, and just plain more interesting than women in porn films.

I was also pleasantly surprised to find how many porn comics depict egalitarian relationships and thoughtfully consider the consequences of sexual behavior. In between just having fun of course.

There is a wide variety of inconsistent quality out there on all of these scales of measurement.
