Gollancz Manga


What is manga?
Manga is a Japanese art form, akin to comic strips, which is published in Japan on a weekly basis. Instalments of five or six different stories are bound together in one book, which looks much like a telephone directory. Readers vote on their favourite story, and the best manga series continue while the less popular are removed.

So how does that become the series of books Gollancz
When a series has run in a weekly magazine for long enough, and proved popular enough, the episodes are gathered together and published in a book-format ... and when the books become a series themselves, like Yu-Gi-Oh!, that’s an indication of how popular the stories are.
