Manga
Manga is the term used to refer to Japanese comic books or graphic novels. It is a highly popular art form in Japan that covers a wide range of genres, including action, adventure, romance, comedy, science fiction, horror, and more. Manga is typically published in magazines, with chapters released on a weekly or monthly basis, and later compiled into bound volumes.
Manga has gained immense popularity in Japan since the 1950s and has quickly spread worldwide, garnering a large fan base. The art style of manga is characterized by expressive lines, large and striking eyes, and a narrative that often follows a fast-paced and exciting rhythm. Many manga series have also inspired adaptations into anime, films, TV series, games, and other media. However, the first major wave of manga worldwide occurred in the 1990s with titles like "Saint Seiya", "Dragon Ball," "Sailor Moon," and "Akira."
