Me: “Maybe because it adds a slight elegance…It’s unique…It’s a cool effect. That’s why.”
MMDer: “But we have color!”

The Manga Shader Effect is not given enough respect. It is one of those effects that you download; maybe tryout a couple of times and then forget you have it. I’d like for you to give it a chance.

I really like black and white mangas, movies, and photography. When you remove color then everything becomes more about texture and shading giving you a different perspective. This is exactly why so many Art and Photography classes start off with black and white assignments. Understanding this will make you a better artist and animator.
