“I’ve always loved Japanese legend, anime and manga.” ― Lauren Beukes
Anime and manga have become immensely popular in the English-speaking world, and for good reason. These Japanese storytelling media convey rich stories filled with dynamic characters and vibrant settings that are enjoyable for both children and adults. Both forms originated in Japan and have similar visual styles, but there are differences between these genres.
Anime is a particular style of animation that is characterized by high contrast, bright colors, and thematic elements of science fiction and fantasy. Manga is a style of Japanese comic books and graphic novels. Like anime, it is characterized by exaggerated facial features and bright colors. Put simply, Anime are TV shows or movies, while manga are comic books or graphic novels.
Below are some great gift choices for the anime and manga fans in your life, regardless of their shoujo vs. shonen preferences!.
