The prettiest thing in the world.

Manga is an art that have become an icon of japanese culture. It has symbolic and polysemic stories full  of emotions, moral teachings and it is a clear reflection of social pressures and hypocrisy.

I haven't learn more about manga because since I was little I know it, and when you know something since you were little is simply a review of that topic. Meanwhile time was passing, I began a really close relationship with manga, because I felt they gave me different ways to see life, or to know how to be polite, and to fight for my ideals and my principles. The first manga that showed me all this stuff is Sailor Moon; this manga teaches you about self confidence and bravery when you face troubles that you think they're bigger than your capability. Other manga that really left me a learning is Digimon. Digimon is the series that nowadays kids must watch, because it has so many beautiful meanings and symbols of universal values; nevertheless, the most meaningful thing Digimon taught me is "never stop dreaming". Even if there are some genres in manga and anime that mainly don’t give a “good image” to humankind, all the genres are little stages of Japan’s progress in the second half of Twentieth Century.

Manga represents the senses of nationalism in genres such as kodomo and mecha, but also in the majority of them criticize social moral and the excessive discipline in labor and academic terms. And with this, you can have other perspective about the complex japanese culture that is full of purity , but also full of the generalized depression since the atomic bombs; nevertheless, manga i the clear example of the initiative of progress and economic independence of japanese population.
