Whilst its roots date back to twelfth-century Japan, modern Manga is a postwar phenomenon, originating with the pioneering Astro Boy and increasing in popularity and cultural importance in the following decades.

Meanwhile, China and Korea also developed their own comic book traditions known respectively as manhua and manhwa, which have achieved increased prominence in the West in the twenty-first century. Here you will find greats of the Manga genre like Death Note, Naruto and One Piece as well as modern day favourites such as Assassination Classroom and My Hero Academia. We have also put together a series of helpful blogs for new Manga fans, or anybody looking for their next favourite read.
