Men stuff® has compiled the following information on Mange
books for young women. Manga is the Japanese word for comics and/or
cartoons (not necessarily animated, this includes print cartoons);
outside of Japan, it usually refers specifically to Japanese comics.
It often, but not always, reads from the back cover to the front
cover. Manga developed from a mixture of ukiyo-e
and Western styles of drawing, and took its current form shortly
after World War II. It comes mainly in black and white, except for
the covers and maybe the first few pages. A small amount of the total
Manga output of Japan is adapted into anime,
which is usually created afterwards, once a market interest has been
established. Stories are often modified to appeal to a more
mainstream market. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manga

Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind #1, story and art by Hayao

environmental cautionary tale created by world-renowned animator
Hayao Miyazaki! Humanity, in its hubris, has precipitated a
devastating ecological disaster. Flourishing industrial civilizations
have been swallowed up and Earth is covered with the Sea of
Corruption, an enormous forest of fungi that releases a miasma of
poisonous spores into the air. Nausicaa, a gentle young princess, has
an empathic bond with the giant mutated insects that evolved in the
wake of the destruction of the ecosystem. Traveling by cumbersome
flying ship, on the backs of giant flightless birds, and perched atop
her beloved glider, Nausicaa and her allies must negotiate peace
between kingdoms battling over the last of the world's precious
natural resources. Creator Miyazaki is best know in the United States
as the writer, director and character designer of Fox Video's
animated film My Neighbor Totoro, as well as
