Japanese Comics

Japanese comics, known as manga, are graphic novels or comic books characterized by their distinct artistic style and diverse genres. Typically read from right to left, manga appeals to all ages and covers a wide range of themes, from action and romance to fantasy and horror. Serialized in magazines, they often culminate in collected volumes called tankōbon. Manga plays a significant role in Japanese culture and influences global entertainment, with many popular series adapted into anime (animated series) and films. Its unique storytelling combines visual art and narrative, making it a dynamic medium for storytelling.
