Manga - To Write

Manga (comics) is now popular not only in Japan but overseas.   Here in Japan manga is read not only by teenagers but salarymen.  The word "manga" was originally introduced in 1798 on a picture book where its original meaning was "to write as your heart tells you" and in the Meiji era (1814) the word "manga" blends with the entry of foreign words "comics" and "cartoon" and since then the meaning evolved to what it means now.

The success of manga locally and internationally has brought a lot of attention to people here, that writing a manga takes you to a market beyond Japan - if you are successful.    To success you need to practice and here online there is a kit available for you to practice writing manga.
