"A Weekly Shonen Magazine in the right hand and an Asahi Journal in the left," went a popular saying in the latter half of the 1960s. It was around this time when reading manga in Japan became commonplace not only for children but for adults as well. In this class, we will discuss representative works and authors such as Osamu Tezuka and gain deeper knowledge and understanding of the history of manga by examining an overview of the origins and historical significance of the manga environment surrounding people in today's Japan.
