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
2.2.1 Shōjo manga
2.2.2 Shōjo manga and Ladies' Comics from 1975 to today
In the following decades (1975-present), shōjo manga continued to develop stylistically while simultaneously evolving different but overlapping subgenres.[54] Major subgenres have included romance, superheroines, and redisu / josei 女性 じょせい, whose boundaries are sometimes indistinguishable from each other and from shōnen manga.[7][8]
In modern shōjo manga romance, love is a major theme set into emotionally intense narratives of self-realization.[55] Japanese manga/anime critic Eri Izawa defines romance as symbolizing "the emotional, the grand, the epic; the taste of heroism, fantastic adventure, and the melancholy; passionate love, personal struggle, and eternal longing" set into imaginative, individualistic, and passionate narrative frameworks.[56]
These romances are sometimes long narratives that can deal with distinguishing between false and true love, coping with sexual intercourse, and friendships or love among women.[54][82][83][84][85]
Redisu manga retains many of the narrative stylistics of shōjo manga up to the present day.[45][51]
