Largely consumed in Japan and in several countries around the world, manga – Japanese comics – have become one of the most known and beloved sequential art styles due to their broad range of approached topics and their unique visual characteristics. Nowadays, manga are one of the leading means of expressing Nipponese art and culture in the Western World, where they influence a number of medias like games, video clips, movies and animations. In Brazil, passion for manga and other Japanese pop culture elements assembles thousands of fans to take part in big conventions spread throughout the country, besides arousing their interest in studying drawing, Japanese language, martial arts, and so on. For these reasons, these comics are worth a place in Brazilian researches, especially as regards their visual features.
