Speculations Is It Weird That Western Readers Are Older?

The Japanese don't age, they stay 15-18 for decades, then turn into 120 yo masters of MA and go living on some mountain.
Just joking.
Maybe because in Japan manga for older clientele (forgot the category name) is quite successful? Do they even have series with normal humans?
Also, do you have a source for the statistic?

Well that's not true older Japanese people like my friend stopped reading Shonen a long time ago.
Im not joking I actually did. They said the average OP fan is 15. It's a young adult thing.

I mean I guess some of them are but it's the minority
My friends say Dragon Ball and stuff like that Naruto One Piece it's all stuff kids read and actually they read way more than just those
But as Western readers it's a bit different because this is popular culture for us
They keep saying Western readers think Shonen is just battle manga but it's also like slice of life (I don't even know what that is). I imagine it's like anime sitcoms.

I actually find something in french that said only 12% of japanese OP readers are under 18, 43% between 19 and 29, 32% between 30 and 49 and 13% above 50.
And it makes sense since OP started more than 20 years ago, and most of the readers that started it young probably want to see the end.
So I don't know where you got your stats from but I feel like you're simply lying

Most people who read One Piece when they were teens in Japan stopped reading when they got jobs guys...
Or at least that's my understanding from the people I know, but they have a pretty good understanding of what popular culture is like in Japan. So idk.
People who have jobs and stuff like that are reading books that aren't fiction because they prefer not to be known as people that view children's content

It isn't since apparently the Japanese readers aren't kids either.

In addition to this, Library of O'Hara conducted a global demographic poll. The result?

The majority of the readership is of adult ages. The 20-29 bracket alone is 67.9% of the poll.

nothing against reading childrens comics as an adult. it becomes grotesque though when redditards don't want to accept that those are childrens comics. spokesperson of the redditards, hasan piker, says that one piece is some brilliant social commentary. the message of drum for example is that usa should get universal healthcare. moronic showrunner of opla agreed. i am sure that oda started drawing the manga in 97 so gey westerners could use it in 23 to make propaganda for petty partisan disputes.
