Manga is the Japanese word for comics (sometimes also called komikku ) and print cartoons.[1][2] In their modern form, manga date from shortly after World War II but have a long, complex history in earlier Japanese art. In Japan, manga are widely read by children and adults of all ages, so that 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. Since the 1950s, manga have steadily become a major part of the Japanese publishing industry, representing a 481 billion yen market in Japan in 2006 (approximately 4.4 billion dollars). Manga have also become increasingly popular worldwide. In 2006, the United States manga market was $175-200 million.
Manga are typically printed in black-and-white, although some full-color manga exist (e.g. Colorful). 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. If the series is sucessful, collected chapters may be republished in paperback books called tankōbon. 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. If a manga series is popular enough, it may be animated after or even during its run. although sometimes manga are drawn centering on previously existing live-action or animated films(e.g. Star Wars).
Manga as a term outside of Japan refers specifically to comics originally published in Japan. However, manga and manga-influenced comics, among original works, exist in other parts of the world, particularly in Korea ("manhwa") and in the People's Republic of China, including Hong Kong ("manhua"). In France, "la nouvelle manga" is a form of bande dessinée drawn in styles influenced by Japanese manga. In the United States, manga-like comics are called Amerimanga, world manga, or original English-language manga (OEL) manga.
Literally, "manga" means "whimsical pictures":
漫 (man) means "whimsical" or "desultory" or "involuntary" or "irresponsible" or "immoral"
画 (ga) means "picture" or "brush-stroke"
Although the term 漫 (man) suffers in translation, one thing is sure: it implies something that does not have a very high literary quality. "Manga" was coined by woodblock artist Katsushika Hokusai in 1814 to describe a book of black & white sketches he made. However, images have been used to tell stories for much longer. The oldest case of this is believed to be the Choujuugiga drawn in the 12th century by a Buddhist monk named Toba.
Manga has come a long way since these days and the stories now told in those "whimsical pictures" cover an extremely broad range of topics, from adventure and sports to fantasy, love stories, science fiction, politics... anything. In Japan the word manga refers to all forms of comics, be they Japanese, European or American. But in Europe and America the word manga is used to refer specifically to Japanese comics. Apart from the wide range of topics, these comics distinguish themselves from their European and American cousins by their sophisticated storylines, intricate linework and textures, and in many cases the trademark Japanese drawing style common with anime.
The Japanese anime industry is a spin-off of the manga industry. This explains in part the difference between Japanese and Western animation. In Japan animation is considered as a "moving manga", whereas in Europe and North America it is considered as a "drawn movie", with all the expectations that this entails. Originally most anime was based on already existing and successful manga, however in recent years leaps in the Japanese animation industry have led to manga being based on successful original anime.
