In the West, the term "Manga" has appropriated to refer specifically to comics created in Japan or by Japanese authors in the Japanese language and according to the style developed in Japan in the 19th century. [1] In its modern form, manga date from shortly after the Second World War [2], but have a long and complex pre-history in earlier Japanese art [3]. In Japan, people of all ages read manga. The medium includes work on a wide range of genres: action, adventure, romance, sports and games, historical drama, comedy, science fiction and fantasy, mystery, horror, sexuality, and business / trade, among others. [4] Since the 1950s, the manga has been become an important part of the Japanese publishing industry, [5] represents a market of 406 billion yen in Japan in 2007 (approximately U.S. $ 3.6 billion) . Manga have also gained a significant audience worldwide. [6] In 2008, the U.S. manga market and Canada was valued at $ 175 million. Manga are typically printed in black and white [7], although some full-color manga, there are (eg colors). In Japan, manga are usually serialized in big manga magazines, often containing many stories each presented in a single episode to be continued in the next edition. If the series is successful, collected chapters may be published in paperback called tankōbon. [8] 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 company advertising. [2] If a manga is popular enough, they can be animated after or even during his career, [9] although sometimes manga are drawn centering on live action films or animated existing [10] (eg, Star Wars ). "Manga" as a term used outside Japan refers specifically to comics originally published in Japan. [11] However, manga-influenced comics, among original works, exist elsewhere in the world, especially in Taiwan ("manhua"), South Korea ("manhwa") [12], and China, particularly Hong Kong (" manhua "). [13] In France, "la nouvelle manga" has evolved as a form of bande dessinée (literally drawn strip), prepared in styles influenced by Japanese manga. In the U.S., people refer to what they perceive as the manga "style" as Amerimanga comics, manga world, or the original English language manga (OEL manga). However, the original term "manga" is used mainly in English speaking countries only to describe Japanese comics.
