Are you looking for sales volumes of Korean and Chinese comics publications in Japan?

@chirale While stats will be good, a reliable opinion will also be fine. Thank you.

This question is about manhwa and Japanese culture, but not about Japanese manga, so my interpretation of http://meta.anime.stackexchange.com/questions/265/how-should-manga-be-defined is that this is off-topic, though I do think it's potentially an interesting question. I've voted to close as such, but it may be worth continuing the discussion in meta as to this sort of question.

How popular are Korean *manhwa* and Chinese *manhua* in Japan?

Is there a market for them as localized manga?
