This is a site for all you anime and manga fans out there. on this site I will be talking about the Japanese cartoons known as manga.

Here's some history for you about anime

1. A mangaka is someone who draws or creates Manga. 

2. Some of the First examples of what could be called "manga" were in pictured scrolls created by Buddhist Monks in the 6th and 7th Centuries.

3. The scrolls continued, using common symbols such as cherry blossoms and red leaves to indicate the passage of time.

4. The tradition of Toba-e, as these comics were called, grew over the next century, until they were the main form of literature for most of Japanese society.

5.His new term for some of his artwork was made of the words "man," meaning "in spite of oneself," "lax" or "whimsical," and "ga," meaning "picture."
