Manga

Manga refers to a style of comic books and graphic novels that originated in Japan. Characterized by its distinct art style, which often features colorful illustrations and exaggerated facial expressions, manga encompasses a wide range of genres and themes, appealing to various audiences. Manga is typically serialized in magazines, with stories published chapter by chapter, and later compiled into volumes known as “tankōbon.” It can be read from right to left, reflecting traditional Japanese reading order. Manga has gained immense popularity worldwide and has influenced many artists and creators in other formats, including animation (anime), film, and video games.
