Which kind of titles do you like best?
Reading the manga is a good way to understand Japanese culture. For example, the hero of Naruto is a Ninja. A Ninja was a covert agent in feudal Japan. The functions of the ninja included espionage, sabotage, infiltration, and assassination. There used to be more than 70 groups of ninjas in Japan. Iga and Koga are most famous ninja-style. HATTORI Hanzo and FUMA Kotaro are famous ninja.
Manga is now an important part of Japanese culture. Many of Manga have been translated into many languages. Can you read it in your country? :D
