Manga and Comics Differences

Chapter 1
Maria and Joseph WIntergreen sat in the backyard, Maria brought some of her manga outside, which included titles like Dragon Ball and JoJo, she brought Sakigake!! Otokojuku, Saint Seiya and Fist of the North Star.

She brought them to clear misconceptions to him and manga is just like the comics he reads.

“Okay, you’re wondering why my mother sees me reading these isn’t any different than your comics.” She said.

She picked up Sakigake!! Otokojuku, which was a manga set in a male-only cram school.

”This manga is more traditionally Japanese and it follows such, in Japan, discipline is apart of growing up, Dragon Ball is more traditionally Chinese, as such, you’ll see characters wearing qipao dresses.” She explained.

”Okay.” Joseph said.

”In Japan, non-sex nudity is a sign of purity and innocence, my grandmother told me that one, I wouldn’t really walk nude around the home, and she says it’s best I don’t, In Japan, the age of consent is 13, but prefecture laws make it much higher, I can see why people would have a problem with Bulma’s more sexualised scenes” Maria said.

She picked up JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Volume 1.

”This manga is more traditionally western, names like Jonathan and Robert are present, while in something like Sakigake, names like Momotaro and Edajima are present, A westernized manga usually doesn’t sell well, but in Japan, it’s becoming very popular.” She explained.
