A bit of everything, yes? Manga encompasses all the genres found in prose fiction, film and other mediums for storytelling. One finds action, science fiction, romance, adventure, mystery, costume drama, erotic fiction, horror, comedy... anything. And I mean by the bucketload. The amount of books sold is astounding. These stories are supplying the myths that accompany growing up and coming of age for many young people in Asia.
Theatre and film works will look to manga for inspiration in years to come, just as playwrights and opera composers in Europe drew stories, characters and conventions from commedia dell'arte.
