Mangas are graphic novels that originate from Asia, specifically in Japan.

There are many different kinds of Mangas. Many Manga is from anime shows or books. However, even more, are the inspirations for many animes that many people like. Manga has lots of history behind them. Mangas originate from scrolls dating back to the 12th and 13th century during the Edo Period states in “History of Manga – Wikipedia.”

According to cansonstudio.com, “Manga is said to have been born in 1814. Back then, Hokusai Katsushika sketched a series of scenes from daily life…”
