What is Manga?
Code:
Manga is essentially the counterpart of Anime, almost like how TV - shows are also shown in comics. Manga includes many genres - exactly like any genre you would find on a tv show or book.
If I've watched an Anime show and it has a Manga Counterpart, how do I know where to pick up?
Code:
If you want to know where the anime ends compared to its source manga, check mangaupdates. It lists the volume and chapter the anime starts and ends at compared to the manga, so you can continue the story in the manga. Note: They won't always list if any chapters are skipped, but they will list if the anime has a different ending compared to the manga. However, you should start reading from the first chapter because of often times anime shows leave out things or change parts, so it may be different.
Is this series available in English?
Code:
If you are ever looking for whether a series is available in English, you can check its Manga Updates page to tell if the series is being translated (and by whom).
