Anime and Manga: An overview

Anime and Manga... such wonderful things to get into. Manga are graphic novels from Japan and are very interesting to get into. I've been reading them for 5 years now. I love how they are different than any books known. The characters are awesome. The stories are interesting and very good. I do not have a favorite because each and every Manga that I've read and looked at are cool. And there are some Mangas that I haven't been able to read yet because they are a big series. Anime is not exactly a graphic novel but it is Japanese cartoons, nonetheless. Those are interesting as well. There are books that can teach you to make Anime which is cool. Each character are different and unique. Manga are really different to get into. They usually read the opposite way as original graphic novels are read. Let's just way, it's a good idea to keep Japanese culture intact. They are read from Right to Left instead of how we are used to reading. It may get confusing a bit but you can get used to it soon. If you get a chance to read a Manga, try it. It's awesome.
