一般指日本創作的漫畫書。儘管「日本漫畫」一詞常指日本形式的動畫片(稱為「日本動畫 (anime)」)、且多數日本動畫係以日本漫畫為藍本，但兩者其實是不同的藝術形式。日本漫畫的主題包括運動、愛情、歷史劇、喜劇、肥皂劇、奇想、神秘推理、性、與驚悚。日本漫畫常以黑白印刷，但封面或前幾頁為彩色，強調誇張的臉部表情與大眼睛。

Refers generally to comic books produced in Japan. Although the term manga is often used to refer to the Japanese form of animation known as anime and much anime has been based in manga, it is a separate art form. Manga themes include sports, romance, historical drama, comedy, soap operas, fantasy, mystery, sexuality, and horror. It is often produced in black and white, with the cover or the first few pages in color, with emphasis on exaggerated facial expressions and large eyes.
