Manga

Manga (漫画, まんが) is the Japanese word for comics and print cartoons. Manga is usually black and white comic book which read from right to left. They are published in Japan by various comic magazines, such as TV Magazine and Comic Bom Bom. 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.
