Konpe #2: Manga [Japanese Version]

 

Konnichiwa minna-san! Ohisashiburi desu ne.

Anyways, I’m back. (^_^)v

Manga are Japanese comic books. Manga is often made into Japanese cartoons, or Anime. The art in Manga has a very definite look to it and is often referred to as “Manga Style.”

Manga are very famous here in Japan. It is read by almost all ages. Also, the genre of manga is very broad.

I’m going to review Crayon Shin Chan manga first. I’ve bought two already but haven’t finished both yet.

Here’s a picture of the manga:

By the way, I believe there are two kinds of manga here. One is the glossy and colored manga. The other one is the paperback (not sure how it is called, hehe). Of course, paperback manga is cheaper since here, it is disposable. Yes, disposable. You could actually see piles of manga on the streets and if you want and have the courage, you could get those and bring it home. Honestly, I don’t like paperback manga. Though it’s cheaper, the quality is not that good. I easily lose interest with those kind of manga. But for the glossy one, it is a different story.

So back to the manga I bought. The first few pages are glossy and colored. Probably 10 pages or so. After that, it is not anymore. ^^; Atleast it is still glossy. (^o^)

You could buy manga at convenient stores and of course, at bookstores. All of the manga I have was bought at convenient stores. I believe the price is the same regardless of where you buy it. Since the price is printed on the book itself. Hehe.

Here are my final ratings:

• Appearance: 5 of 5
• Content: 5 of 5 
• Price: 5 of 5
• Overall: 5/5 Perfect Score!
