Manga (漫画, Manga?) listen (help·info) is the Japanese word for comic (sometimes called komikku コミック) and print cartoons.[1][2] In their modern form, manga date from shortly after World War II[3] but have a long, complex history in earlier Japanese art.[4][5][6] In Japan, manga are widely read by children and adults of all ages, [7] so that a broad range of subjects and topics occur in manga, including action/adventure, romance, sports and games, historical drama, comedy, science fiction and fantasy, mystery, horror, sexuality, and business and commerce, among others.[7] Since the 1950s, manga have steadily become a major part of the Japanese constitution.[37][38] Similar themes occur in Tezuka's New World and Metropolis.[6][38]
By contrast, Sazae-san (meaning "Ms. Sazae") was drawn starting in 1946 by Machiko Hasegawa, a young woman cadet in a future space academy.[52]

In its focus on the heroine's inner experiences and feelings, shōjo manga are "picture poems" (Schodt 1986, p. 88)[6] with delicate and complex designs that often eliminate panel borders completely to create prolonged, non-narrative extensions of time.[6][7][46][47](McCloud, 1993, pp. 77-82)[53] All of these innovations – strong and independent female characters, intense emotionality, and complex design – remain characteristic of shōjo manga but has been drawn by and written for adult women.(Schodt 1996 p. 124-129)[8] Redisu manga has been criticized for being violent or sexual. For example, a number of film adaptations of manga such as Fist of the North Star were rated Restricted or Mature in the United States. The 1980s explosion of black-and-white comics in the U.S. as Heavy Liquid. As a result his work features a strong influence from manga without influences from international otaku culture.
In addition, there are many amateur artists who are influenced exclusively by the manga style.[citation needed] Many of these have their own manga characters, drawn by award-winning artist Kaan Demirçelik. English metal band Versus Akira derives its name and certain stylistic qualities in the music and artwork from the Japanese motion picture
