Well French and Belgium BD (sorry I can not use the word comics) is really part of our culture. But it is difficult to compare them with manga, they are so different. Unfortunatly I'm not sure it is well known abroad beside Asterix and Tintin (which are a bit old now...). Maybe the last international hit you may have heard about is the adaptation in animation of Persepolis from Marjane Satrapi, really really good movie but quite far from the manga style as you can see :-)
