Manga v. Comics

When I posted about writing my Global Cultures paper, I mentioned its topic: representations of gender in Japanese manga versus U.S. comics. I did say that the beginning contained an explanation of the differences between the two, and _bequerel_ said, "Post it!" This is that post.

I should note that this is not an English class, and we received next to zero instructions on how to write this paper, or give the presentation on which it was based (Please excuse the poor writing). I was at a particular disadvantage because everyone in my class presented on their Study Abroad trips, and I have never studied abroad (it is not required to receive a Global Cultures certificate!).

Anyway, this is a slightly modified version of the introduction, and the transition in the middle.

If you have questions, ask them! Maybe I can answer them, or could find the answer for you. I actually read a lot more manga than I do American comics, :O
