Graphic Novels and Manga (warning: contains anime memes)

Though most of the books I write about on the blog are… well… normal, worded books, I love books in a more comic style as well; graphic novels and manga. (I put these in two different categories because I know the next person who reads this is going to have a different opinion than every other person ever to read this, so for simplicity I’m keeping them in two different categories, even though they are essentially belonging to the same definition;

graphic novel
noun

a novel in comic-strip format.

However, it’s worth it if it saves me from a sea of comments.)

You probably know by now that Tokyo Mew Mew is my favourite manga series of all time, and you don’t have to look far to see that I love anime as well. *cough cough* featured images *cough cough* It’s not just the story, though; it’s lovely to just flip through the pages and look at the artwork. If there was, I don’t know, a manga series where they had a really good artist but they erased all the speech bubbles before putting the books in bookshops, I would be there in a second! I would be first in line, even if I was the only customer in the world who supported the series, I would be like;

And after that I would have my nose in that book for a week.

And I wouldn’t care if I had no idea what was going on in the story! I would just want to look at the artwork. You might think that’s weird, but look at it this way; people go to art galleries just to look at stuff. Let’s be honest, nobody really reads the little information cards, but that’s the point! You don’t have to know the story behind it for it to look nice. And it’s the same with manga.
