What's The Difference Between Manga, Anime, Japanese Light Novels And Japanese Reading Material?

in lightnovel •  3 years ago 

All of the above mentioned types of Japanese reading material have their own unique qualities.

Manga and anime are both types of Japanese visual art. They are both interesting and enjoyable to watch, but manga is often seen as being more "good" than anime. This is because manga is typically more story-driven and less action-packed, while anime is more focused on exaggerated fight scenes and sexualized characters. Both styles can be entertaining, but fans of one medium often bemoan the lack of action or sex in the other.

Fortunately, for those wanting to combine both anime and manga on their book shelves, more publishers are releasing volumes of manga that retain the original text from the print versions. Unfortunately, this means that most manga volumes are only released in limited editions with higher prices. You can read some titles here:

For example, Kodansha Comics has released some of its popular titles like Attack on Titan and Tokyo Ghoul in both print and digital format at the same time. But these print releases are hardcover, large sized editions for $20-$30 USD. By comparison, the digital edition is usually smaller, lighter and cheaper ($9.99), and retains all the original artwork.

And no one does this better than Vertical Inc., a small New York-based publisher with a growing list of amazing titles.
