What anime and manga can you think of that have literary value
And Javert never overindulged in pastries.
Your point?

What exactly connotes Literary Value? Reading the opening post immediately made me think of Charles Dickens, who wrote serial fiction that was condemned as mindless vernacular. Though I agree with some of his critics who felt his plots were contrived and occasionally episodic (speaking in broad terms), looking back it is easy to tell that his work was a massive leap ahead for fiction in general. Similar things can be said about Shakespeare.
I'm saying don't discount FullMetal Alchemist but welcome Death Note and Haruhi Suzumiya with open arms. Not if comic relief is the deciding factor.

EDIT:: at any rate, I think I'm going to stress that I know people will disagree with me on Hagaren. It's not "I'm right and you're wrong," I will admit that. The whole topic is pretty subjective, at any rate.
Although on that note, I wouldn't consider Death Note as up to par with "Great literature" either, if mostly due to it's excesses, though it gave it a shot.
Honestly, I don't think that Japan has quite caught up with the "West" when it comes to literate comics. Certainly they exist, but I have found far less of them in the Japanese comics then I have with western comics. It should be noted that I have been reading Japanese comics for a much longer period of time than the western ones.
