COMPARE/CONTRAST GRAPHIC NOVELS MANGA Graphic novel is the English phrase for sequential art in book form GNs often targeted at adults American GNs borrow heavily from manga, including stories and artwork. Manga is Japanese for “whimsical picture,” and refers to sequential art narratives of any genre In the US, most manga is read by teens and young adults Arranged top to bottom then, right to left (opposite of American/Western GN)

WHICH IS WHAT? US GN OR MANGA? GN OR MANGA?
