Christian Manga

Manga, the japanese form of comics, has really taken off in North America over the last year or two. Just walk into any bookstore, and you'll see shelves and shelves of the books, with over 100 new titles just in the last year.

All we need now is a new breed of christian cartoonists and mangaka's to step up to the plate and praise Jesus through their art! They don't have to be super-religious or bible stories... themes of christianity in every day life, family, and relationships work just fine, and already have widely-read secular versions of these types of stories. Testimonial comics and also becoming increasingly popular.

Here's a couple of noteworthy sites out there:

Serenity - christian manga series about a girl struggling with her life.

Alias Comic Publishing - Some interesting american-style comic books.

Comix35 - ministry involved in visual literature. They also have good lists of christian comics out there.

Reverend Fun - american-style daily comic strip.


There is a few of them out there, but we definitely need some of those bright Jesus-loving artists out there to get going and use those gifts that God gave them.
