There are a couple things about Japanese manga that make it interesting from an e-book perspective.
Firstly, manga are generally both black and white, and well suited to a small screen. They are usually reprinted in paperback-sized volumes called tankoban, which means that on the normal e-books, they wouldn't have to be shrunk much if at all.
The other thing that makes manga interesting is that they sell a LOT of it, both in Japan and now in the US. In Japan, in particular, the big manga anthologies have circulations that leave both Spider-Man and Reader's Digest in the dust. So getting even a small piece of that pie would translate into big buy rates, possibly the biggest yet.
