North America's 1st large-scale manga exhibit opens at San Francisco's De Young Museum
"What's interesting is that manga that's read in America and manga that's read in Japan is read in Saudi Arabia, is read in Indonesia, is in Malaysia, the same titles are popular throughout the world,"
"Manga literally translates as "pictures run riot." Anime series like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure are drawing in younger audiences, blending Western styles and music with tales of battle against supernatural forces."
"You have manga that is aimed towards a female market, you have manga that's aimed towards a male market. There are different stylistic things,"
San Francisco's De Young Museum opened North America's first large-scale manga art exhibition featuring more than 600 images across art, comic books, and animated features. Manga expanded in international popularity after World War II, with many of the same titles popular across countries such as the United States, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Manga literally means "pictures run riot." Anime titles blend Western styles and music with supernatural battle narratives and attract younger audiences. Manga encompasses diverse markets and stylistic approaches aimed at female and male readers, employing exaggerated expressions and narrative shifts. Artist Mari Yamazaki combined classical painting with manga, placing characters in historical settings like the ancient Roman Empire.
