Serenity Part 1
The past several years has seen a ground swell of
Christina Comics come into various market places.
Perhaps the major story this year is the emergence
of the manga, Serenity. Manga is the Japanese word
for comics. Manga is an ongoing media phenomenon
in Japan. Manga is read by all ages and segments of
Japanese society and and racks up sales in the million
on a weekly basis. Manga (along with Anime-Japanese
animation) has developed an enormous foreign following
especially in North America. Manga style is quite specific
with characters often depicted with huge eyes with a
blending of semi-real and extreme cartoony drawing
styles. Manga appeals especially to young girls both
teen and young teens. Serenity at this point is published
for the Christian bookstore marketplace.
