I think people in the world like a children, teenager or adult know and interest about MANGA, right?
Yes, not also from source article on KANGGURU here, i'am agree coz MANGA has become increasingly popular all over the world including in Indonesia, my country from. MANGA originally came from Japan. MANGA is the same of ANIME (from Animations or cartoon's word in japan Language), right.... it has existed in Japan for many years and has become part of the Japanese lifestyle and culture. A MANGA character has big eyes, a small nose and small lips, i think it's one of style and great character. People from all age groups are interested MANGA in Japan. We can find MANGA cartoons in comic books, Video Games and cartoon films. The topics in MANGA cartoons vary from action and adventure to romance, sports and games, historical drama, comedy, science fiction, mystery, horror and many others.

With the increasing number of MANGA fans in Japan there are also new cafe's called "MANGAKISSA" or "MANGA CAFES". There are coffee shops with a mini library of MANGA comics. MANGA fans can not only drink coffee and read MANGA but they can even stay overnight if they miss a train or a plane. There are also MANGA Clubs, MANGA Clothing and accessories, and students can even study MANGA at university, it's cool study......?

In Indonesia, MANGA became popular when cartoons like Doraemon, Candy-Candy, Kung Fu Boy, Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon appeared on TV. The most popular MANGA comic among teenagers are "NARUTO" and "DETECTIVE CONAN", but there are hundreds of MANGA comics to choose from. Some original MANGA stories have been translated into Indonesian but you can find original MANGA comics drawn by Indonesian MANGA artist. "Machiko Maeyama" is a MANGA artist who owns the first and the only MANGA school in Jakarta. It's called "Machiko Maeyama Manga School". People of all ages come to learn how to draw MANGA. Machiko gives workshops across Indonesia including a very interesting workshop for children at the UBUD readers and writers Festival in 2007 ago. Are you MANGA fans?
