What is a Christian Manga?

First, let's define what is Christianity.
Christianity is the faith and belief in the One and True Living God. It is not like any other religion, since the followers believe that it's only through the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ that they can have salvation and enter into the Kingdom of God, not by works or rituals, but by faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ.

It also teaches and promotes love, it is the principal and core value of the faith. It is found in the many teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ, such as that believers should love their enemies and pray for them and also that we should love our neighbors as ourselves, and most of all, to love God with all our hearts, mind , soul and strength.

And what about manga?
In Japan, manga is basically the word Japanese people use for comics. While in the west and other countries, manga is known as comics originating from Japan. As time went by, manga became popular around the world and even people outside japan started making their own manga. In addition, manga has many distinct characteristics, mainly the art style, the genre and specifically the big expressive eyes. Additionally, manga has a long continuous serial content, which can even go on for many years.

Most manga-ka (manga-artist) release their series in popular Japanese publishers. But like myself, you can create a manga independently as well. You can either publish it as a physical copy, publish it online or you can do both.

A manga is also read from right to left, because of the traditional Japanese writing system called "tategaki" (縦書き), where the characters are written vertically. And as new innovations come, new mangas are being created to adapt new formats, such as the long vertical format which is more suitable to be read on a smart phone.

So, to answer the question,
Like any other mangas and graphic novels or any other stories, A Christian manga has a message to deliver.
To put it simply, It is a series that revolves around Christianity and directs the readers to the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Christian faith is the central and major component of its contents. It's a manga that portrays and deals with matters and issues of Christianity and its values and encourages readers to know and develop a deeper understanding, wisdom, and knowledge of the One and True Living God. And above all, to have a personal relationship with Him.
