Manga refers to comics or graphic novels that originates from Japan. The word manga is used to refer to comics as well as cartooning and it is used to refer comics that are originally published in the country outside Japan. Manga has been a major part of the Japanese publishing industry since 1950s. The manga market in Japan was valued at $6 to $7 billion with annual sales of 1.9 billion manga books and manga magazines in Japan. Manga has been able to gain a significant amount of audience throughout the world.
Manga stories are usually printed in black-and-white because of time constraints, artistic reasons and keeping the printing costs low. But at the same time you can also find a few fully-colored manga. Manga are usually serialized in large manga magazines, often consisting of stories presented in one episode and continued in the next issue. Collected chapters are mostly republished in tankobon volumes but not exclusively on paperback books.
