Get the Mang0 mug.Contrary to what most people in the West think, manga (both the singular and plural form are the same) have NOTHING to do with pronorgraphy. Some manga are pornographic, but that's just a small percentage of manga.
Manga, in Japanese, means "flowing words" or "Undisciplined words". It is an ancient art that has been used for centuries as a form of entertainment. It's basicallt Japanese comic books, which can be easily translated to English. However, just saying manga are comics from Japan is wrong.
First of all, in the US and in Europe, most comics are addressed to young children between the ages of 9 and 13. That is not the case of manga. There are 6-7 major types of manga, each having its own audience. Kodomo manga is for children. Shonen manga is for boys ages 12-18 , Shoujo manga is for gilrs age 12-18. Josei manga is for adult ladies above the age of 20, mainly working women. Seinen manga is for young men between the ages of 18 and 30, and Hentai manga is pornographic, adult manga.
As you can see, saying "comics from Japan" is wrong. Another difference between manga and Western comics is that each comics volume has its own plot, while manga volumes all follow the same plot. The artwork is VERY different. Manga has its own particular artwork, especially when it comes to human faces, particularly the eyes, chin, nose, mouth, forehead... Manga is also read from RIGHT to LEFT. (Yes, even the English ones).
In Japan, 40% of all book & magazine sales are manga. That's a huge number, considering the Japanese read A LOT. In 1998, about 3 billion manga volumes were printed in Japan, I'm sure that number is higher now.
Many manga have been translated to English and are sold everywhere.

Get the Mang Thomas mug.A very sweet and charismatic girl who likes cat. Like. Reeeaaallly likes cats. If you ever met her then you'd know that you will never be loved by her as much as her cats. Maegn can flame on the spot so don't fuck with her. She can be very indecisive but is always here to help out her friends. Maegns' will say they dont like drama but in reality, they secretly love it. Even though Maegn may seem like she doesn't care some times, she always is a shoulder to lean on when in need and can give the cold hard truth to those who may not want to hear it but need to. This girl is very open and has a killer sense of humor that will have you waiting to hear more jokes and roasts. Maegn is a self conscious girl but in reality is very beautiful, though she may not believe it. Maegns' also enjoy playing video games, some of which are for little kids but mainly anything on a Playstation will do. She has probably been through an emo phase at a younger age that she now regrets but looks back on and laughs. All together though, any Maegn that you meet, you should keep her in her life. She is an amazing person and deserves the best that she can get. (IS A BADASS)
Person 1: "Woah did you see that girl? She's hilarious!"
Person 2: "Haha yeah, that's Maegn for ya!"
