There is a subtle difference between eggs and hot dogs chasing you around as opposed to two mostly naked leather men shooting hot magma out of the top of their heads. One is cute, the other is Freudian.
If you need to prove it, describe the scenarios of various games without telling them it’s a game and gauge their reaction. One will seem whimsical, the other will end with the police asking you to leave.

I’ve also always thought that we have always thought comics were almost strictly for people in silly outfits. Manga could be about anything. Also, I would say that the younger generations believe that manga is theirs while American hero comics are for their parents.

Well, we are so reliant on Google that any sentient AI would hide its sinister plan from plain sight.

But no,

No entries on the interweb at all.

I think the main difference is graphics capability. If you left out "the magma shooting out of their heads" bit, the game is sounds rather pedestrian. (If you leave out the "outfit" descriptions, you still have a weird game.) Games for the Atari generation had to be weirder just to distinguish themselves from the pack. I still think they had more of a WTF quality, in general, and I've played Silent Hill (2&4).

Manga's audience is one part kids who don't want to read those old people comics, one part people fed up with "mainstream" comics, and one part people who noticed that these look interesting, too.

It hides the songs well, which was what I was looking for. (Hard to build an iTunes playlist from novels.*) So far, I've only found three. ("Saviour Machine" David Bowie(MWStW), "Twilight of the Gods" Helloween(KotSKP1), and "NM 156" Queensrÿrche(TW).)

But this all makes perfect sense when you realize that "gothic" means "bright, airy, and enlightening; dark, gloomy, and oppressive; and pertaining to a Germanic tribe known as the Goths, yet not pertaining to the Goths at all."
