"The quest to discover a definition for "literature" is a road that is much traveled, though the point of arrival, if ever reached, is seldom satisfactory.
Most attempted definitions are broad and vague, and they inevitably change over time
In fact, the only thing that is certain about defining literature is that the definition will change.
Concepts of what is literature change over time as well."
Manga did not exist back in William Shakespeare's time and to keep using that period's definition and criteria for judgement for the current era's works is wrong.
Manga can be considered literature.
Now what makes classic literature classic literature?
Influence - they are well known, influence generations of writers and inspire discussion whether good or bad.
"But manga is unoriginal and copies from other works"
Even Shakespeare has taken inspiration and has been influenced by other works and things, to say that only manga is like that is ignorant and bias.
Literary merit -
Literary merit is the quality shared by all works of fiction that are considered to have aesthetic value.
The concept of "literary merit" has been criticized as being necessarily subjective, since personal taste determines aesthetic value, and has been derided as a "relic of a scholarly elite".
That means any work can have literary merit so it comes back to influence as the defining criteria for classic literature.
Standing The Test Of Time - of course "classic" means even after many generation the work is still read and discussed.
This is a key point of differentiating from a currently popular series that is forgotten to a classic one which remains.
"insert series name" sucks and is boring"
The same can be said for any work and that is why literary merit is irrelevant.
It it also the norm in today's society to hate and bash any and every work that is popular and that is well recognized, which makes judging a work by a subjective matter a complete farce.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My thoughts on what Atheism really means.
Atheist preach that religion/god is bad/doesn't exist and all that.
So whether you're a atheist good person who gives to charity or a child rapist, serial murderer etc... it's still atheism. THERE IS NO GOOD OR BAD IN ATHEISM, YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE.
So it's hypocritical for atheist to judge anybody like they have a higher moral ground.
All the current good morality comes from Christianity, so the atheist who believe they are above religion in morality are really just a copy cat Christian who doesn't believe in god.
If not then where do they take their morality from since they don't believe in religions/god's teachings? good morality itself is a religious teaching.
The 10 Commandments brought to light god's words to the masses.
"then where did the morality from earlier on come from?" the word of god still rang true before the commandments, they just brought it into the open world for everyone.
"god said to Abraham to kill his son" it was a test to his loyalty and faith, god means no harm if you are faithful.
"All the current good morality comes from Christianity" is basically correct, but I have one thing I disagree with. I think it would be better if said as "All of where good morality has ever come from, is Christianity." The whole point of morals is that they don't change based on when or in what situation they are applied.
