Manga may be Japanese comics, but they come in many forms. No one’s going to confuse the dystopian yet comic style of Shirow Masamune’s Ghost in the Shell with the pretty but socially conscious tale of Moto Hagio’s They Were Eleven. But most mangaka tend to stick with what they know. The late, great Akira Toriyama mastered action comedy, and Fist of the North Star’s Buronson continued to write stories about manly men.
