Kind of Manga

According to Lent, Manga (漫画) are comics created in Japan, or by Japanese creators in the Japanese language, conforming to a style developed in Japan in the late 19th century. The writer of the Manga is called Mangaka (漫画家).

People usually say Manga as man-ga. Actually it should be mang-ga. Because the pronunciation of "n" in Japan is "ng".

Gravett in his book Manga: Sixty Years of Japanese Comics said that in Japan, manga are usually serialized in large manga magazines, often containing many stories, each presented in a single episode to be continued in the next issue. If the series is successful, collected chapters may be republished in paperback book called tankobon.

As written in Adult Manga: Culture and Power in Contemporary Japanese Society, a manga artist (mangaka in Japanese) typically works with a few assistants in a small studio and is associated with a creative editor from a commercial publishing company.

If a manga series is popular enough, it may be animated after or even during its run. Sometimes manga are drawn centering on previously existing live-action or animated films. For example Inuyasha, by Takahasi Rumiko.

As a mangaka, especially in Japan, if you success (means your manga is interesting and sell-able in market), you can take mangaka as permanent profession, your income is from your manga selling. But, mangaka in Japan also has risk. Seiryokugai chukoku is a condition when mangaka's manga series doesn't interest or sold out on market, so the mangaka gets fired.

There are some types of manga:
