@fl1x438: Manga / 漫画 are Japanese comics and graphic novels, a cornerstone of modern Japanese culture and one of the most influential forms of storytelling worldwide. While the word manga in Japanese simply means “comics,” outside Japan it refers specifically to the distinct Japanese style. History 19th Century Origins: Modern manga was influenced by traditional Japanese art styles such as ukiyo-e woodblock prints, as well as Western comic strips. Post-WWII Era: The medium exploded in popularity thanks to Osamu Tezuka, known as the “God of Manga.” His works, such as Astro Boy, established the cinematic paneling and storytelling style that defines manga today. Late 20th – 21st Century: Manga became a global phenomenon, inspiring anime, films, and video games, and gaining massive international readership. Characteristics Reading Style: Manga is read right to left, top to bottom — the opposite of Western comics. Variety of Genres: Action, fantasy, romance, slice of life, sports, horror, comedy, science fiction, and more. There’s manga for every age group and demographic. Serialization: Most manga is first published in weekly or monthly magazines (e.g., Shonen Jump, Weekly Shonen Magazine) before being collected into volumes (tankobon). Art Style: Wide eyes, expressive characters, and highly detailed backgrounds are common, but styles can range from minimalist to hyper-realistic. Demographics Shonen (少年) — targeted at boys/teens, often action-packed (Naruto, One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen). Shojo (少女) — aimed at girls/teens, usually romance or drama (Sailor Moon, Fruits Basket). Seinen (青年) — for adult men, often darker or more complex (Berserk, Vagabond). Josei (女性) — for adult women, focusing on relationships and real-life issues (Nana, Paradise Kiss). Influence & Legacy Manga has shaped global pop culture, influencing not only anime but also Western comics, films, and fashion. Major titles like Dragon Ball, Bleach, Attack on Titan, and Berserk became international phenomena. Today, manga is a multi-billion-dollar industry with fans around the world. #real #fyp #ишимбай #manga #mem
