Humans have invented many things to entertain themselves. Activities ranging from outdoor games like football, soccer, baseball to indoor games like chess, monopoly and so on to reading books. But, let me focus on the reading part. There are many things we read for entertainment like magazines, newspaper, blogs, comics etc. These are the items we are familiar with but I want to talk about a material that is popular, but not as popular as these. Manga.

I’m pretty sure most of you have heard, and luckily, have read at least one. Manga is technically the Japanese version of a comic, which you read from right to left. If you have not read one yet, then I’ll give you three reasons why you should.

1. It’s an awesome time pass

Haven’t you had a day where you had watched everything on Netflix, played all games, and there were no good books to read? Well, I’ll tell you a secret. You should try manga. Manga has a wide variety to choose from. It includes all sort of genres too.

2. Manga tends to have an awesome story line

Well, I mostly read manga for the story. The story is mostly good and you get hooked very quickly. The stories are illustrated with great details too. Stories are usually different from one manga to another so it’s always something new to read.

3. They are very relatable to your life

Besides all the big eyes, cute faces and spiky hair, the gist of the story is so relatable. The ups and downs of life, the happy moments, and the depressing moments are all represented properly which makes the events happening in manga very real. It feels like you’ve been through the same situation as the character in the manga which makes it even more fun to read.

If you have decided to read one by now, please do so promptly. You might have been missing a whole lot of good things.
