Manga!

MY CREATIVE RESPONSE STEMMED FROM THE IDEA OF TRADITIONAL VERSUS NOW. MANGA, IN MY OPINION, APPEARS TO BE SOMEWHAT OF A CONTRAST TO TRADITIONAL JAPANESE VALUES.

MANGA IS IN NO WAY CONSERVATIVE, IT ADDRESSES MANY ELEMENTS OF SOCIETY THAT ARE STILL CONSIDERED TABOO OR DEFINITELY NOT MAINSTREAM ENTERTAINMENT. PERHAPS THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THIS IS THE RAPE STORIES AND “LOLICOM” MANGA – CHILDREN LIKE APPEARANCES WITH VOLUPTUOUS SEXUAL BODIES.

A VISUAL REPRESENTATION THAT PROVIDES A GLIMPSE OF WHAT MANGA IS SEEMS A GOOD WAY TO INTRODUCE IT. THOUSANDS OF TITLES AND GENRES MAKE IT VERY HARD TO ADDRESS ALL STEMS OF MANGA. THE KEYWORDS LISTED PROVIDE A GOOD BEGINNING ABOUT GETTING AN IDEA OF MANGA AND THE DIRECTION OF MANGA.
