Japanese comics, known as “manga,” are a style of comic book and graphic novel originating from Japan. Manga encompasses a wide range of genres and themes, appealing to various age groups and demographics. Typically printed in black and white, manga is characterized by its distinct art style, often featuring exaggerated facial expressions, dynamic action scenes, and stylized characters.
Manga is usually serialized in weekly or monthly magazines before being compiled into volumes known as “tankōbon.” These comics are read from right to left, which is the traditional Japanese format. The storytelling in manga can be complex and character-driven, exploring a wide array of subjects from fantasy to romance, horror, and more.
In Japan, manga is not just a form of entertainment for children; it has a significant cultural impact and is consumed by readers of all ages. Internationally, manga has gained immense popularity, influencing artists and creators worldwide and giving rise to the global manga industry. Manga can also inspire adaptations into anime (animated television series or films) and other media, further expanding its reach and cultural significance.
