What is comic in japanese?

Comics in Japanese are known as "manga" and are a major part of Japanese popular culture. Manga can be categorized into different genres such as shonen (targeted towards boys), shojo (targeted towards girls), seinen (targeted towards adult men), and josei (targeted towards adult women).

The art style used in Japanese comics is distinct and easily recognizable, characterized by large eyes, small noses, and delicate features. Manga is usually read from right to left, the opposite of traditional Western comics.

Manga is often serialized in weekly or monthly magazines, and popular series are then compiled into tankobon volumes for sale in bookstores. Many manga series have become popular worldwide, spawning anime adaptations and merchandise such as toys and cosplay costumes.

Comic conventions, or "Comiket," are held twice a year in Tokyo, where manga fans gather to buy and sell self-published comics, known as doujinshi.
