What is Manga??Manga is the Japanese word for comics or printcartoons, but outside Japan it usually refers tocomics only. The storylines cover every genre:romance, comedy, gothic, horror and historicfiction. Most Manga are in black and white,although there are exceptions, for example, thecover or first few pages might be in colour. Theword Manga means ‘random pictures’. Animatedcartoons such as Full Metal Alchemist, on theother hand, are known as ‘anime’.

Its originsManga took its current form shortly after World WarII when Japanese artists were increasingly exposed towestern art. However, as far back as the 12th century

Japanese art often used simple graphics– and artists are still using thistechnique today. It is a commonfeature of today’s Manga.

Osamu Tezuka Osamu Tezuka, who

originally trained as adoctor, is widelyconsidered to be thefounder of modernManga. His mostfamous Manga in

the West is Astro Boy, which tells the dramaticstory of a grieving scientist who is trying torecreate a copy of his dead son. It was OsamuTezuka who introduced characters with large eyes.

The facts• The Japanese language does not have

singular or plural nouns so Manga can referto just one comic or to many comics.

• Weekly sales of comics in Japan areincreasing day by day. They are now greaterthan the complete annual output of theAmerican comic industry.

• More and more people are going to Mangacafés where you buy a drink and read Manga.

• Japanese readers can read a 300 page Mangain about 20 minutes.

aa Sorry, but I don’t know the word in English for a

book with… er…with a soft cover. ■■

bb And it’s definitely not winter because she’s wearing

a sleeveless top, a black skirt and low heeled

sandals without stockings. The weather looks quite

warm and sunny so perhaps it’s spring or even

summer. ■■

cc The young woman is at a train station because on

the right side of the photo I can see train tracks

and in the background there is a train. There aren’t

any other people in the photo so it’s definitely not

rush hour…. It could be midday or early afternoon.

■■

dd In this picture I can see a young woman in her

twenties and she is reading a book … er … not a

book with a hard cover but…. ■■

ee I don’t think she looks very angry that her train is

late. In fact, she seems very interested in what she

is reading. ■■

ff I think the young woman is probably going on

holiday as she has a suitcase. And maybe she

is sitting on it and reading because the train

is late. ■■5

I think she’s at the train station because she’s going on holiday.

Yes, and hertrain might belate, so that’s

why she’sreading.
