Manga are Japanese comics drawn with a typical and unmistakable artistic style. In Japan, manga is an everyday thing that involves a lot of boys and girls. The topics are the most disparate, there are manga of adventure, horror, science fiction, humor, love stories, tragedies and suffering and then things with monsters, heroes, tentacles and so on. Well, I think that comic book fans know very well what manga are, they are found in every newsstand and are often inspired by video games and cartoons (or vice versa).
In this article we see how to read these Japanese and manga comics on the internet, directly online, from the computer, without downloading them
In this case the paper cannot be beaten and reading a comic on the computer is not, in my opinion, too comfortable. The fact remains that some comics have not been marketed in Italy, some not translated into Italian and there are only in English or Japanese. The only way then is to read these comics on the internet through some web portals.
1) MangaFox (in English) is the largest and most famous site on the net, which talks about Manga and where you can read all the titles and numbers of these comics online .
