Hello world!

History

Japanese manga got its start in 1959 when two magazines, ‘Weekly Shonen Sunday’ and Weekly Shonen Magazine’ were launched the same day. They were a big hit and provided initial fuel for the manga boom.

In Japan, the word “manga” simply means “comic.” But to the world, “manga” has come to be equated with the particular artistic style of comic creation originating in Japan, and has gained tremendous popularity around the globe.
