![]() ![]() Manga is usually classified into 2 categories: Shoujo and Shonen. The genre includes a broad range of subjects.”. In Japan people of all ages read manga, manga does not target younger audiences like american comics. The best definition of manga I could find is this: “ Manga is the Japanese comics with a unique story line and style. But it’s not always like that like I said earlier, most of the times it’s in black and white. That’s the first page of Hetalia Volume 2 and as you can see, it’s in color. They’re all in black and white and grey-scale with the exception of a few colored pages. And the art styles can vary from light and airy to dark and heavy. ![]() Lengths can very from just a few chapters in one volume to over than 400 chapters in more than 50 volumes. Manga is a Japanese “comic” and is traditionally read right to left, up an down. But enough about otakus you’re probably bored about hearing about them over and over again, so I’ll just go on to our next subject. Usually us otakus just watch anime, fangirl over our fave characters, and read/buy manga whenever we have the chance. One doesn’t necessarily have to be Japanese to be an otaku, just have an appreciation for the culture. I would like to take you on a little overview on otakus, anime, & manga and talk a little bit on what this blog will be about. Ok, first off, to those that don’t already know by now, an otaku is the Japanese equivalent to a geek/nerd that loves anime, manga, and the Japanese culture in general.
