Ah, Twilight manga

Here are some excepts from a pretty funny post about the Twilight manga, fandom, economics, and general snobbery.  I did read and enjoy the novels, and ST is halfway through the series right now.  She is not interested in spoilers.
"You are not cooler or more intelligent than a Twilight fan just because the bubble gum that you pick for your brain wasn't originally written in English."
"If you want to feel superior to people who read escapist literature, pick up some damned Marcel Proust, or Thomas Mann. I still won't take you seriously, but then at least I'll have someone to commiserate with."

I got a kick out of it as someone who happily devours escapist trash, pulp, fine literature, and most everything in between on the manga and novel continuum.
