Manga

Manga refers to a style of comic book or graphic novel that originates from Japan. Typically characterized by its distinct art style, which includes vibrant characters, expressive facial features, and dynamic panel layouts, manga covers a wide range of genres and themes, appealing to various age groups and demographics.

Manga is often serialized in magazines, with individual chapters published on a regular schedule, eventually collected into volumes known as “tankōbon.” The stories may encompass diverse topics, from action and adventure to romance, horror, and fantasy, and often incorporate elements of Japanese culture and societal issues.

Read from right to left, which is the traditional Japanese reading order, manga has gained international popularity, influencing comics and graphic storytelling worldwide. It is not only a medium for entertainment but also serves as a platform for artistic expression and cultural commentary.
