Every manga comes with a dustcover (some people don't like them, some don't care, but I personally wish the American market used them as it keeps the manga from looking raggedy).
I think the biggest difference is the French market has a better ratio of mature manga compared to the typical manga from Tokyopop, and I'm not talking about the gore/nudity kind of mature either (though there is certainly that too).
While I read just about every genre of manga there is and think that the market is definitally moving in a better direction than a few years ago, I'd just like to see more mature and progressive manga be published here.

In this series, Black Jack performs surgery on the titular character's eyes (replacing the ones that were taken as a form of farmed medical donation) that allows her to see through solid objects, which leads to the character herself becoming a doctor like Black Jack (albeit, a fully licensed one).
