An Introduction to Manga
What is Manga?
Put simply, manga are comics produced in Japan. Often confused with "anime" which are cartoons, manga covers a broad range of genres and can be either long serials or short one off stories. In recent years manga has become increasingly popular, with die-hard fans attending events and "cosplaying" (dressing up) as their favorite characters. Just what is it about manga that people love so much?

Unique Culture

From omurice (a kind of omelette with rice inside it, shown in the picture below) to sports festivals packed with fun and whacky events, manga is crammed full of insights into the wonderful country that is Japan. This adds an extra layer of interest for non-Japanese readers, and many develop a love of Japanese culture and language.
