Manga Reading

It's just one of my babe's quirks: he doesn't know how to read manga. I'm pretty sure he have never read a manga before. XD

Here's the two pages I wanted him to read (in French), you can also find the English translation I did below:

I bought this manga (La Cantine de Minuit, by Yaro Abe) the other day and I loved it. It's the type of manga I really enjoy reading: the drawing is simple but the story is everything. XD

PS: A little typo in the English translation on the second page, instead of "univere", it should be "universe". XD

You know they have a show created from this manga too on Netflix, a must watch :)

Jaime Chong

i also read this, so much fun and meaning stories

alfa

My pleasure.

SONG Inkollo

It's a new manga. It was very popular in Japan, and it was even adapted to a TV series. XD

SONG Inkollo

It's the traditional layout, from right to left. I still have my Doraemon manga. XD

SONG Inkollo

Thank you Peter. Love u too. XD

SONG Inkollo

Thanks, will check it out XD x

Pete

Is this an old comic? The shading is softer. But I love this style! 😍😍

I read Doraemon when I was a kid. I forgotten how was the layout.

Amanda Lee

Lolo you are so talented! I love that you can draw in so many different styles!

Peter

He's watching it. XD

SONG Inkollo

watch netflix original version , joe πŸ˜ƒ

In France, we read from left to right, like the rest of the European countries. Manga is from Japan, that's why the original reading order is from right to left, which then later becomes a norm to all manga translated here in France. If you are new to manga and not very used to the "big eyes" style, you can try reading Jiro Taniguchi's mangas (realistic detailed drawing with simple but touching stories). I highly recommend "A Distant Neighborhood".

SONG Inkollo

Thanks - think I’ll have to check it out. What would you recommend and is the French habit of reading right to left? Sorry if I’m coming across as uneducated in this area - this is new to me. 😊

Pete

When the manga was first introduced in France, the editors actually turn the order around to suit our habit of reading. Now they don't do that anymore. So yes, it is always back to front, right to left now. XD

SONG Inkollo

I’m sorry I’ve never read Manga either! I’ll have to agree with Joe. Is it always back to front?

Pete

Lol, I can understand that very well. Still a lot of people in France don't know how to read manga in the right order. But for the past two decades, manga have really grown big in France, and here we have a large fan base on manga/anime culture.

SONG Inkollo

I love reading manga! But it's true that if you're not used to the reading style it can get confusing. I remember the first time I picked up a manga. I thought someone had screwed up the printing because the back cover was on the front!πŸ˜‚

Michele McMahon

I have to say Bakuman, because it's a manga I personally relate to a lot. And these two authors also created one of the most popular shonen manga of all time: Death Note. I actually never heard of Angel Sanctuary and Paradise Kiss, which is a surprise to a manga fan like me. I have to google them. πŸ€—

SONG Inkollo

I always love his big puppies. XD

SONG Inkollo

What are your favorite mangas Song??? Mine are Angel Sanctuary and Paradise Kiss 😊

Diego Fraustro

That's hard to hear, but mangas are very popular here in France, and my generation (years 80s) are very influenced by a lot of popular shone mangas/animes on TV at the time, that's how I was introduced to Sailor Moon. πŸ˜ŠπŸ’•

SONG Inkollo

Joe's pecs though.... 😍

Trevor Hale

Lol, that would be fun. I always wanna try to do more manga. Here's we have french comic book artists who got really successful drawing manga, and his manga was even adapted into anime. (Have you ever heard of "Radiant"?) XD

SONG Inkollo

Yes, right? It's not that hard, it's just comic books in reverse reading order. I can't believe how popular My Brother's Husband is among us. (in a good way) I feel so proud of the author. Mr. Tagame and I used to have the same editor. Not a lot of gay erotic comic book authors can break through into the general public. XD

SONG Inkollo

πŸ˜€ I m familiar with it bc of your comics and thanks to google but it is not a thing here πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Dana Tudor

I love manga! You should do a post manga style in reverse!

RICARDO

I’ve been reading a bit of Mangas recently and learned quickly on how to read them from right to left. Plus My Brother’s Husband is a fantastic read πŸ₯°β™₯️

David Proby

Really? How is that possible?! 😱

SONG Inkollo

Yes, I bought all the 3 issues in French, just to support the author. I'm so proud of Gengoroh Tagame. He was one of the rare gay erotic comic book authors who went mainstream. XD

SONG Inkollo

I don t even know what Manga is so I m with Joe on this oneπŸ˜‚β€οΈ

Dana Tudor

talking abou manga, have you read My brother's husband?
