'''Manga''' are graphic novels from Japan. Compared to American comic books, they employ more dynamic layouts, make heavy use of tones, follow cinematic pacing, and emphasize character development. Manga series enjoy widespread popularity throughout age groups, and this demand has lowered publishing standards. Nearly all manga are published in black and white, and many on newspaper quality paper, especially serial manga. Popular manga are usually compiled in higher-quality ''tankoubon'' (単行本) editions.

Manga was born in the 19th century with the inspiration of western political cartoons. The first artists to use the term - roughly "whimsical pictures" - were shunned ~~but~~ traditional art circles. They borrowed both from European art and from 18th century Japan's kibyôshi, a printing block artform with genres such as humor, drama, fantasy, and even pornography. Government censorship and moving picture technology all but killed kibyôshi, but manga artists resurrected it and created the uniquely Japanese style of today.

Manga gained popularity and its focus on storytelling after World War II. Manga with plots such as Tezuka Osamu's ''Diary of Ma-chan'' sold well, and while light manga and comic strips called ''yonkoma'' (よんこま) continued to exist, graphic novels became the norm.
