Manga is an aspect of Japanese Pop Culture that is very different than the comic books parallel in the western world. Manga is drawn in black and white, and published in significant volumes weekly in dedicated magazines.
Manga's topics vary widely. One classification of a type of manga is the Shoujo style, which commonly deals with romance stories. It's targeted for the female market, but men can also read them to combat gender discrimination. ^^;;
Expect for more wide spread importation in the next few years.

Shonen Manga is targeted for the male audience. However, some titles have wide appeal to both the male and female audience. The manga titles which are currently well known in USA are mostly of the Shonen variety.

These manga are targeted for the adult audience. As manga readers grow older, they turn to more realistic stories that they can relate to.
