Manga mania

Mangas are Japanese-style comics or graphic novels, usually found in black and white.
The manga became extremely popular all over the world because his comics are full of
adventure, fantasy, action and much more that attracts and intrigues the readers. Also...
How not to fall in love with the characters! There are some so adorable that they make
you melt with tenderness, others that are rebellious but cool, the villains that despite being
bad you may love them and leave us life lessons that can be put into practice.
Manga is not a passing trend, of course not my friend, manga is part of Japanese culture,
and its origin goes back many years.
The origin of manga is in the 12th century, where Japanese artists were creating
illustrated scrolls, and the term "manga" has been around for a long time and was first
used in 1798 to describe the book Shiji no Tukikai.
In the late 1940s and early 1950s the US military brought their American comics to Japan,
and when they got their hands on them, modern manga was born.
The artist considered "Father of manga" was Osamu Tezuka, the creator of Astro Boy
and others. It was called that because it started with the typical manga design that is
known today, and being a very intriguing and eye-catching design, its popularity
skyrocketed reaching many places apart from Japan.
And currently, manga is a pillar of the Japanese publishing industry, and manga is no
longer only limited to printed paper, now many do it digitally since it gives a more realistic
and precise effect, and that's why the digital manga sales exceeded those of printed
manga.
Although some think that manga are for children, manga readers include many people of
all ages, from teenagers to adults, and there are thousands of genres and sub-genres for
them to choose from.
