The latest edition of Wired magazine includes an article titled How Manga Conquered the U.S., a Graphic Guide to Japan’s Coolest Export which explores the story of manga in the U.S., from its humble beginnings to the behemoth it is today. Oh and said article is in Manga form, with illustrations by Atsuhisa Okura. Its nifty and informative if you are rather new to the whole manga scene. The article is available on PDF as well.

      Interesting article for the younger generations of fans, myself included. The manga market in my country (Portugal) is starting to develop, which means that, up until now, most mangas that are sold in bookstores come from France and the US. Now that I know how this industry has developed in the US, all that’s left is to learn the “French side of the story”. It might not seem like it, but the French manga industry is tremendously well-developed (France is well-known for its own comic industry).
