Our sellers offer a variety of collectible manga from collected issues and graphic novels to rare first editions and out-of-print books. There is less focus on the superhero-type characters seen in comics from publishers like DC and Marvel instead, manga story lines often include spiritual or philosophical messages. Manga is also known for including stories focusing on relationships and sexuality, more so than its American counterparts. The two chief genres - shonen comics for boys and shojo comics for girls - feature main characters that each gender can relate to, and they're subdivided by age into categories for young through to adult readers. Manga caters to both male and female readers, with stories of adventure, fantasy, romance, and technology that appeal to a wide variety of fans. Vintage manga books from the post-World War II era start to look more like the Japanese comic style we associate with manga today, including the exaggerated facial expressions and wide eyes that give the characters a distinct look. There is some disagreement about when manga began in Japan, with some scholars citing examples of scroll drawings all the way back in the 11th century and others pointing to the introduction of the word manga itself in the late 1700s. Manga, meaning 'whimsical pictures,' or more simply, comics, is a distinctive comic book form created and popularized in Japan through stories like Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece, and classics like Tetsuwan Atomu ( Astro Boy).
