INTRODUCTION

Manga (漫画?) listen (help·info) is the Japanese word for comics (sometimes also called komikku コミック). In their modern form, manga date from shortly after World War II[1] but have a long, complex history in earlier Japanese art.[2][3][4] In Japan, manga are widely read by children, adolescent boys and girls, and adult men and women.[5] A broad range of subjects and topics occur in manga, including action/adventure, romance, sports and games, historical drama, comedy, science fiction and fantasy, mystery, horror, sexuality, and business and commerce, among others.[5] Since the 1950s, manga have steadily become a major part of the Japanese publishing industry,[1][6] representing a 481 billion yen market in Japan in 2006 [7] (approximately 4.4 billion dollars[8]). Manga have also become increasingly popular in the US and worldwide.[9][10] In 2006, the United States manga market was $175-200 million.[11]

Manga are typically printed in black-and-white,[12] although some full-color manga exist (e.g. Colorful[13]). In Japan, manga are usually serialized in telephone book-size manga magazines, often containing many stories each presented in a single episode to be continued in the next issue.[4][5] If the series is popular, collected episodes may be republished in a paperback book called a “tankōbon” in Japanese.[4][5] A manga artist (mangaka in Japanese) typically works with a few assistants in a small studio and is associated with a creative editor from a commercial publishing company,[1] If a manga series is popular enough, it may be animated after publication.[14] although sometimes manga are drawn centering on previously existing live-action or animated films[15][16] (e.g. Star Wars[17]).

CUT THE FOLLOWING

This article does not deal with cinemanga, animanga, or anime-manga, meaning printed graphic narratives in books or comics created by excerpting frames from anime and adding speech balloons and printed sound effects.[18]

Manga and manga-like comics exist in Korea (“manhwa")[19] and in the People’s Republic of China plus Hong Kong (“manhua”).[20] In France, “la nouvelle manga” is a form of bande dessinée drawn in styles influenced by Japanese manga.[21] In the United States, manga-like comics are called Amerimanga, world manga, or original English language (OEL) manga.[22]
