Manga – the graphic novels or comics that have originated from Japan are very famous today. Due to the growing anime fan bases in countries other than Japan and basically in Asia, manga like Death Note, Attack on Titan, Kimetsu No Yaiba (Demon Slayer), Horimiya, etc. are also getting the fame that they should’ve gotten long ago. Anime for the Japanese is anything animated in Japan but it’s not the same for the rest of the world.
Anime and Manga have mind-blowing stories, Jaw-dropping directions, and are the sum of the collective effort of Voice actors and sketch artists. But the question that arises is where can we read it? The rise in the level of technology nowadays is a big challenge faced by Japanese manga writers.
The manga was available earlier only in printed form but the new technology trends have made it so easy to read manga that manga paperback sales have degraded significantly and the arrival of webtoons are also responsible for this. This fierce competition has forced manga to be more creative than before from story to drawing lines and most importantly the content.
Shounen and Shoujo manga are so famous today that people are preferring to download the original manga and read it to be safe from any spoilers. Well it is what it is and the only thing we can do right now is to be a part of the crowd and the biggest challenge faced by manga readers today is finding a website or any application that doesn’t have any copyright issues and is not a revenue generation method for the authors.
