huge popularity both on its own shores and all over
the world in many different language translations, but
the concept of manga has been around far longer than
even its earliest incarnation in the hands of anime
and manga pioneer Osamu Tezuka. With a variety of genres
and many budding manga artists, both professional and
amateur, manga has been and continues to be a staple
of entertainment for people all over the world. Many
manga series are also eventually made into anime series,
and serve to help bring to life the detailed drawings
and pictures seen on the pages of countless popular
manga.
