	Manga!!
		Japanese manga, as comics are called here, have been publicized the world over on television and in newspapers and the most popular works have been introduced abroad both through legal and pirate translations.
		The manga industry in Japan is of such a massive scale as to completely overshadow the industries of the two other great comic-producing nations, the United States and France.
		There are a great number of magazines in Japan devoted exclusively to manga but it is difficult to give an exact accounting of their number given that it is not at all uncommon for smaller publishing houses to bring out one new magazine after another under different titles.

	TASCHEN Books: Pop Culture - Reading Room - Manga (1)
		Manga haven't just followed Japanese mainstream culture, they have been the mainstream for decades and have been the inspiration in many creative areas, such as the film genre Anime, advertising, film, and the visual arts.
		Authoring manga is often a very important step in the career of Anime and film directors, as is seen with the career of Hayao Mayazaki, to name just one example.
		The word manga came into use in the 19th century, when Hokusai, a well-known woodblock artist, used the two Kanji (Japanese characters, derived from the Chinese alphabet, that represent words and meanings) "man" (translated as lax) and "ga" (picture) to signify the characters he developed.

	What are Manga and Anime
		Manga and anime also tend to protray technology sympathetically, while some U.S. comics seem almost to avoid it, or revile it, or simplify it as much as possible.

		The heart of manga and anime is in the hearts of the characters.

	Manga: Where it all comes from
		Although in Japan the word manga is broadly used to cover almost any kind of "cartoon," whether a comic book or an animated movie, in English-speaking countries it has come to refer to the unique Japanese novels in drawn form known as "graphic novels." Superficially, these "manga" are the Japanese equivalents of our comic books.
		Remarkably, they sometimes find the original manga even more inventive and engrossing than the animation (after all, if the anime is "the movie," the manga is "the book" and is often much more deeply thought out and detailed than an hour or so of video could manage).
		Manga have over the years developed a visual language all their own, and one far more sophisticated than that of American comic artists.

		Manga, even at its earliest closest form to today's manga, was not much more than comic strips.
		The importance and significance of manga is such that it holds a place in the history of Japanese art in general.
		Rather, Hokusai's use of the term "manga" (which literally means "whimsical pictures") referred to his method of drawing a picture according to the way his brush or drawing materials glided across the page at random (hence the "whimsical" side of the term).
