Manga are comics or graphic novels created in Japan. They have a long and complex pre-history in earlier Japanese art. The term manga in Japan refers to both comics and cartooning. Originally, manga was used in Japanese to refer to whimsical drawings or picture books. Today, manga is a multi-billion-dollar-a-year comic book industry.
