| Summary |
"Anime is Japanese animation. Once a manga series gets popular, it is usually adopted into an anime (pronounced AH-nee-may). There was a time when manga and anime were completely unknown to the world outside Japan. Japanese artists started producing modern-day manga in the mid-1900s. The word manga means "whimsical pictures," and refers to all Japanese comics. There are many genres of anime and manga, including science fiction, romance, horror, action adventure, sports, comedy, and more."-- Provided by publisher. |

Though both manga and anime were once completely unknown to the world outside Japan, they now bring in billions of dollars in revue worldwide. Henderson provides a brief history and examination of anime (Japanese animation) and manga (Japanese comics). He explores the many genres of anime and manga, and covers the essential titles and artists. -- adapted from back cover and Introduction. |
