Manga

Manga is the Japanese word for comics and print cartoons. Manga's roots can be traced to as early as the late 18 th century. It has come a long way since then and many popular animated cartoons (anime) today are actually based on manga. Although comic books may generally be associated with children and teenagers, in Japan , manga is read by people of all ages. Manga is a part of their lives. In fact, studies show that reading manga is a more popular hobby than going to the movies or reading novels.

Manga covers a very wide range of topics. More than amusing stories, manga is also used to present informational material such as "how to" books. Even academic and legal subjects are presented in manga form.
