Comics & Manga refer to visual storytelling mediums that use sequential art to convey narratives. Comics typically originate from Western cultures and encompass a wide variety of styles, genres, and formats, often involving superheroes, humor, or satire. They consist of illustrated panels that include text in the form of speech bubbles and captions to enhance the story.
Manga, on the other hand, is a style of comic originating from Japan, characterized by its distinct artistic style and unique storytelling techniques. Manga is often serialized in magazines before being collected into volumes. It encompasses a broad range of genres and is aimed at various age groups, from children to adults.
Both comics and manga utilize a combination of images and text to engage readers and communicate stories, but they differ in terms of cultural context, artistic style, and narrative structure. Comics are often read from left to right, while manga is typically read from right to left, reflecting its cultural origins. These mediums have gained global popularity, influencing each other and contributing to the growth of pop culture and entertainment.
