マンガ - Japanese Comics
In Japan, manga are a very popular form of consumable media. They are based around an art style that appeared in Japan around the end of the 19th century, having a history in even older forms of Japanese artwork. In Japan, people of all ages read manga. Like anime, there are many different genres, such as action, romance, and comedy. Manga has had a very strong influence on the art of different regions of the world in recent years. The new South Korean concept of manhwa, and the French manfra are both heavily inspired by manga, sharing a general style for both art and storytelling. The youth of the last two generations have also been heavily affected by manga, with many artists adopting a similar style, especially online. It is an artistic style that is normally very appealing, even to people who don't read manga or comics. |
