Manga

for the past 20 years. Because of the popularity of manga, many Western comics are

inspired by them.

including the movies and merchandises associated with it.

Manga-influenced comics

In 1993, Viz issued a new line, Amerimanga. Amerimangarepresents American comics inspired by form and style ofJapanese manga

Some disagree with using the term manga in western comics

because manga means comics published in Japan and doesntapply to work outside Japan. Some also say that Amerimanga isAmerica-centric

The term Original English Language manga, or OEL manga, arewidely used and known to refer to this type of comic, but theterm only includes works published in English

Global manga and international manga are now more acceptableto include all comics using manga style and published inlanguages other than Japanese
