If you’ve not delved into the fantastic world of Manga fiction then, you’rein for a treat. Manga are Japanese style graphic novels with a twist. Mostof them you read from back to front and from right to left in the easternstyle, but don’t worry because the writing is in English!

A lot of Manga is translations from Japanese, but there is a growing Britishpresence. For instance Cirque du Freak is available in Manga form and wehave Manga versions of Romeo & Juliet and others.
