Comic Glossary
Manga
Manga is the Japanese comic tradition, typically printed in black and white and read right-to-left, with distinctive expressive art and stylized characters.
Manga covers every conceivable genre and audience in Japan — kids' adventures, romance, sports, horror. The art style favors big expressive eyes, dynamic motion lines, and minimalist shading.
