Manga is a style of comic or graphic novel that originated in Japan, and has seen a great increase in sales and popularity in the USA. It is known for its detailed black-and-white artwork, and many popular stories that are adapted into animation (anime).
As with any form of storytelling, manga represents a huge variety of reading experiences - from the light and breezy misadventures of Hakumei & Mikochi, to the emotional story of life, death and mental health explored in Orange.

I just read this post about manga being a rising star in the comics world and it does a great job of showing how this Japanese art form has grown from a niche interest into something that’s now popular around the world, especially because manga covers so many genres and styles that there really is something for everyone, from light-hearted adventures to deeper stories about life and relationships, and that variety is part of what makes it so appealing to readers of all ages, whether they’re just getting into comics or have been fans for years, with many libraries now even offering digital manga through apps so people can read on their phones or tablets, which helps make it more…
