Animals) produced by several artists. In fact, their technique of
drawing a characters’ legs to simulate running was adopted by
many manga-ka (manga makers and comic book artists)
working today.
During the Edo Period (1603-1867), another book of
drawings, Toba Ehon, embedded the concept of manga, yet
the term itself was first used in 1798, to describe the picture

Manga vs Anime

two kanji - “man”, meaning “whimsical or impromptu” and “ga”, meaning “pictures”, together forming 漫画 .
This is why, historically speaking, there could be many early examples referring to
the aesthetics and narratives used in modern-day manga.

US-Occupied Japan
Following World War II, Japan found itself under the
occupation of the United States. This was an important
event in the development of manga. The Americans
brought their own comics and cartoons, such as Disney
works, Mickey Mouse, Betty Boop and Bambi, to the
country. The Japanese artists subsequently gave life to
their own style, primarily within newspapers and
magazines, and these then evolved into dedicated
weekly and monthly comic magazines
Among the first and to date most successful manga
artists, there were Osamu Tezuka, who created the Inside Katsushika Hokusai’s Manga books, said to
famous Astro Boy, as well as Machiko Hasegawa, with be among the first examples of the comics form in

Comics
In the Post-occupational years, particularly
between 1950 and 1969, an increasingly large
readership for manga was established, leading to
the division into two main marketing genres
- shōnen, aimed at boys, and shōjo, dedicated to
girls. In shōnen, one can find comics that were sub-
divided according to age: boys up to 18 years old,
young men 18 to 30 years old, known as seinen,
and adult, grown men, referred to as seijin manga.

Charged with action, adventure, fighting of all
kinds, as well as sports, technology, romance and
sometimes sexuality, these involved one or more
male protagonists and helped create the concept of
heroes. Shōjo, the “female” comics, were
essentially the same way, while their topics and
core audience were, of course, female.

While the most popular manga can be determined by the
number of copies sold, there are also older examples of
comics, particularly those created in the years after the
Second Great War that are still renowned as the most iconic
examples of the famous Japanese comic. Every fan has its
own favorite, that’s for sure – someone prefers those dealing
with romance, others prefer sports or business and
commerce; everything is up to a reader.

The Worldwide
Expansion of Manga
Since the late 1980s, Japanese manga has taken the world
by storm. The influence of manga on the comics market
has increased significantly in the last two decades, but it
had also had an aesthetic effect on comic artists around
the globe. Due to the current global development of
manga and anime, cultural scholars are suggesting that
Japan could be considered as another center of
globalization. The influence of manga in the Southeast
Asian societies can be ascribed to cultural proximity, but
the penetration of manga in Europe and North America is
interesting to study.

The Worldwide
Expansion of Manga
Since written Japanese fiction usually flows from right to left,
manga stories are also published to flow from top to bottom and
from right to left. While some of the foreign publishers keep this
format, the majority mirrors the pages horizontally before
printing the translation. In this process known as “flipping”, it is
very important to carefully adapt the translation to the flipped
artwork so that it follows an image. At first, many manga
creators such as Akira Toriyama did not approve of the
modification of their work in this way. Still, due to the market
expansion and fan demand, the right-to-left formatting has
become commonplace abroad.

A Threat to the Industry
In recent years, the industry has been suffering acutely due to the piracy.
Affecting all media everywhere, Internet piracy is particularly endemic to
manga.
Many faithful fans started learning Japanese online, acquiring original
publications, and then scanned, translated, edited and uploaded them online.
With scanlations appearing sometimes mere hours after a new chapter is
released in Japan, the practice is striking at the heart of manga and threatening
its very existence. This is making it increasingly difficult for manga artists,
or mangaka, to earn a living from their work.
