This term refers to japanese comic books. It all starts when publishers working for the same company put together some pages of their story draws a in a tankobon. Which are like the yellow pages book, but with comics on them. Everyweek, the cover changes having characters in the cover of one of the stories.
This tankobon can be get a newspapers and magazine kiosk. They’re made of recycled paper. Most of the times Japanese people send them again to reciclying and if they really like the story. They buy a smaller, prettier, more colorfull comic book. This ones are to collect and they’re prices vary depending on the novelltiy or if you get the new or used .
When a manga is very popular. Japanese love statististics and clasificiation so they must do tons of market studies. The animated serie is created. Whit it a lot of figurines, toys, food, etcetera. There is a hole industry behind an animated series. Companies make a lot of money for selling this goods. Which goes to the employees. So is something good. Good for the readers, good for the employees.
I would like to research one day, about the relation between the low crime level in Japan and the reading manga in Japan. I read that a Japanese young person at least reads one manga per week. It has to be related. What do you think? Please comment.
