Manga ... All the time, everywhere
History of Anime :
History of Manga :
60 years of Japanese comics :
Entire floors of buildings, even several floors, are devoted to Manga. I entered in a dark store that even specialized in gay manga. For all, so, and all budgets : some places are specializing in second-hand goods, but the Manga, in Japan, does not stop at books and DVDs.
Whether in advertising, magazines, the influence on the style of dress, and even signs of dangers of the city, like the photo above, the Manga style influences the life of Japanese in a huge way and it's very fun!
Advertising takes place in trucks decorated by some Mangas and traversing the road to sell all kinds of products, concerts, events...
Logos, like Pasela Resorts here, are often an animal, a sushi, an imaginary character straight out of a Manga.
Music groups or singers, totally virtual, can be elevated to the rank of star.
When we (try to) win stuffed animals at the Carnival in the machines, Japanese people play for real figurines, posters of animation, or characters goodies fashionable for 100 yen (divide by 120) well ok there are stuffed animals also but they are "kawai"! (cute)
Video call with a girl, still showing the influence of anime on the behavior, even for the older generation, I saw moms over 50 with clothes Hello Kitty, or Totoro phone case !
A vending machine for drinks (in the street) decorated with Dragon Quest.
For €16 you can become an owner for (not the head) the Goku T-shirt!
Finally (yes I know this isn't a Manga) the Disney store in Tokyo, which is the image of what the Japanese expect from a store like this.
