The color contrast with manga images has never been an issue on the onepiece, naruto and fairytail wiki. The majority of websites these days like youtube, twitter, instragram, facebook, reddit, mangastream all use white background with black lettering since thats the easiest to read. As Shinra pointed out above, you can barely notice white text when its bold as aposed to when its used on black text.

IMO a black background would look badass, but at the end of the day, im gonna chose readability over my preference.
