It seems a bit ignorant to think Manga is winning just because it has some hotties in it alot of female heroines tend to look like porn stars in stripper costumes too and people actually get mad when they don't I remember a huge rage fit in comic world years ago when Wonder Woman started wearing pants instead of how she looked in things like Justice League both the old show and the 00s era show

That kind of goes back to your original point though. Manga artists are assigned editors who often guide them in the story making process and will occasionally redirect their story towards what seems to be more popular with the fan base. Like, the only reason Dragon Ball had a tournament in the first place was because the series was underperforming and Toriyama's editor told him that people liked fighting more.

So like, if comic book artists are making changes to establish characters and the readers are being pissy about it, the manga approach would be to pivot back towards what people seem to want. The comics approach seems to be to push it out and then talk about how shitty their buyers are for not wanting it.
