The following is a topic that has been strongly recommended by our dear students.This humble work is dedicated to you.

 Manga is the Japanese word for comics published in Japan. The word itself is comprised of two characters: 'man' meaning “whimsical” ( unusual or positively odd ) and 'ga' meaning pictures. Many characteristics make manga distinctive as an art style. Manga characters usually have large eyes, small mouths, abnormal hair colour, and more importantly, superpowers. These things give their characters an interesting and attractive look. Mangas have been successful in transcending cultural barriers and making an important and lasting impression on audiences around the globe.

  At first, this success was limited, but now the imagination of readers has been captured everywhere, spawning a fan base that has been increasing day after day.

Reading mangas engages your mind in ways regular books don't. Learning to read pictures and words together helps you process images faster and with more accuracy. This is called multimodal thinking. This ability can really be helpful. I safely think that such manga are essentially more educational media than mere entertainment. These manga works are often based on accurate information derived from careful research, providing high literary value and intellectual stimuli to readers ( in my opinion).

 The most popular manga of all time is One Piece. Over 500 million copies of this latter have been sold. Whilst, the most viewed manga is Naruto with a rating of 8/10.

 At last, let us shed light on the main difference between anime and manga. Anime refers to the Japanese term for animation, and manga is the Japanese term for comics. Anime stories are targeted at various audiences and produced in colour, and manga stories are usually targeting teens or adults and produced in black and white.

 What do you think?, which one is better, anime or manga?. You're kindly welcome to argue and debate in the comments.
