Descripción

Refers generally to comic books produced in Japan. Although the term manga is often used to refer to the Japanese form of animation known as anime and much anime has been based in manga, it is a separate art form. Manga themes include sports, romance, historical drama, comedy, soap operas, fantasy, mystery, sexuality, and horror. It is often produced in black and white, with the cover or the first few pages in color, with emphasis on exaggerated facial expressions and large eyes.
