Manga refers to a style of comic or graphic novel that originated in Japan. Characterized by its distinctive art style, diverse genres, and often serialized storytelling, manga is typically read from right to left. It encompasses various themes and caters to a wide audience, ranging from children to adults.
The format includes both black-and-white and colored illustrations, with many manga series being serialized in magazines before being compiled into volumes called “tankobon.” The stories often feature complex characters and plots, addressing various topics such as action, romance, horror, and fantasy.
Manga has a significant cultural impact and has influenced global comic styles, creating a dedicated fanbase both in Japan and worldwide. It is not only consumed as a form of entertainment but also appreciated as an art form, with some works gaining critical acclaim and being adapted into anime and live-action films.
Manga enthusiasts have a reason to celebrate! In honor of the tenth anniversary of "Shonen Jump+", a special compilation titled "Short Stories Collection" will be released on January 4, 2025.…
