Comics & Manga

Comics & Manga refers to two forms of visual storytelling that use sequential art to convey narratives.

**Comics** are typically associated with Western art forms and often appear in magazines, comic strips, or graphic novels. They use a combination of illustrations and text, with speech bubbles and captions, to tell a story. Comics can cover a wide range of genres, including humor, adventure, fantasy, and superhero tales, and they are recognizable by their unique art styles and diverse approaches to storytelling.

**Manga**, on the other hand, is a style of comic that originates from Japan. Manga is characterized by its distinct artistic style, often featuring exaggerated expressions and dynamic actions. It encompasses various genres and is published in serialized form in magazines before being collected into volumes. Manga often follows specific reading formats, typically read from right to left.

Both comics and manga are significant cultural phenomena that have gained popularity worldwide, influencing various media forms, including animation (anime for manga) and film adaptations. They are celebrated for their ability to engage readers through captivating plots and visual artistry.
