'''Manga''' (漫画 or まんが) is the Japanese word for comics and print cartoons. Manga are usually black and white comic books which read from right to left. They are published in Japan by various comic magazines or packaged with toys and DVDs. There has almost always been a manga to accompany the newest ''Transformers'' toyline, sometimes taking place in the same continuity as the concurrent animated series, and sometimes presenting a different take on the story.

To date, no ''Transformers'' manga series has ever been made available outside of Japan.  Unofficial English translations by fans have been appearing online for years, most notably at the websites ''TF Pulp'' and ''TF Archive''.
