Chances are you’ve heard of ‘manga’ before. Possibly from me. It’s a huge obsession of mine.

Essentially, they’re Japanese comics. They are illustrated in black-and-white, with the occasional colour page.

But rather than elaborating further on what they are, I’m going to explain to you how they’re made.

Manga is released in Japan episodically - in weekly or monthly magazines.

These aren't the sort of magazines we're used to in the West. They're huge.
