Anime and Manga
“Japanese cartoons” will everyone answer to the question
“What anime does mean”. Yes, anime is Japanese animated production such as television
series, short films and full-length feature films. Anime is quite different
from ordinary movies; it is full of kawaii (cute) scenes, chibi (diminutive
person) and other specific things. And what manga is? Comics? Not so simple,
not every comics book is manga, and not every manga is comics book. You cannot
open tankoubon (one volume of manga) and read manga from left to right as
normal comics. Only manga is read by opening the end of the tankoubon and
reading it from right to left. Anime and manga are very popular and have a wide
range of readers of different gender, age category and interests. Bishonen,
Dojinshi, Guro, Lolicon, Cyberpunk, Echi, Shonen-ai and e.c.… The numerous anime
and manga of different genres are released each month to entertain not only
children, but also adults. Moreover, manga and anime are so deeply rooted into
society, maid cafes, cosplay, otaku, hikikomori are shining examples of it.
