Top 10 Magic Girl Manga

What is a Manga?

A manga is a Japanese comic. It is read from right to left instead of left to right.

Unless a manga has been translated into English or another language, anyone not familiar withhiragana, katakana and kanji will have a difficult time reading one. In fact, they wont be able to readone at all, because instead of the English alphabet they use symbols. Each symbol represents asound. Each one has a meaning. However, many people enjoy the Japanese comic books, manga.Those who can read it, or at least they enjoy the translated versions which have been lisenced bypublishers in their own countries.

Japanese comics have a different art style in comparison to american comics, or other comicsworld wide. Manhua and manwha might be the only type of comic that has a similar artstyle.

Manga which happen to become very popular are often adapted into drama CD's. If both themanga and drama CD's do well, then the manga may then be adapted into an OAV or a full animeseries.

An OAV is usually around only one to three episodes, possibly four, but rarely more. A full animeseries season usually runs at least tweleve episodes and can be as long as twenty-six episodes long.There have however been cases where an anime season has been longer.

What are Magic Girls?

Magic girls tutus for Halloween are exactly that, magic. They have magical abilities, which areused to help save the world. Often times at least one magic girl, whether they're on a team of othermagic girls or not, will have an animal gurdian. These animal gurdians can actually communciatewith them, because somehow they're able to speak and understand a human language. Sometimesthe guardian might not be a real animal at all, but instead a mythological creature or a stuffedanimal. Perhaps even a robot.

The Top 10 Magic Girl Manga's

1. Sailormoon

Sailormoon was a manga created by manga-ka Naoko Takeuchi, which was a sequel to CodeName: Sailor V. Sailor V, in Sailormoon made an apperance as Sailor Venus. Each of the magic girlsrepresented a planet, though other sailor scouts (senshi or soldiers) represented other celestialbodies of the universe.

The story begins with the search for the moon princess when the evil that killed her and hersoldiers first incarnations escaped from its prison. The sailor scouts wore sailor outfits which manyschools in Japan use as the school uniform. They didn't really ever look different at all in teir

costumes than without. The manga however had sailormoon wearing a mask, whereas the anime didnot.

While the story is about the struggle between good and evil in the universe, there's also aromantic subplot. One which is between sailormoon and one rose weilding masked man.

2. Princess Tutu

Princess Tutu is about a girl named Ahiru (Duck in the english version) . However she's not reallya girl, but a duck. A dreadful storyteller with an awful sense of humor gives a pendant to her whichallows the duck to become human. As a human she can turn into the graceful ballerina, PrincessTutu.

With her dance and the power of words she can stop a potentially dangerous situation fromgetting out of hand. There are however many obstacles in her way as she tries to find and return allthe pieces of Prince Mythos heart to him. A young man named Fahkir is very much against this andhe too has a part to play in the story.

Princess Tutu however has an ending that no one sees coming, at least the anime portion does.

This was an anime before it was a manga, which its usually the manga which is created beforethe anime. Not in all cases, such as Princess Tutu which when adapted into an anime was illustratedby Mizuo Shinonome. The series however was created by Ikuko Itoh a Japanese character designerand animation director.

3. Magic Knight RayEarth

Magic Knight RayEarth is a manga created by the well known group C.L.A.M.P. It is a story aboutthree girls who somehow manage to find their way into a different world, one parallel to their own. Ithappens while they're visiting Tokyo Tower. What they must do is save the pillar, Princess Emeraudefrom Zagato who was her priest. In the end however, what happens is unforseen, but in a way it is ahappy ending bittersweet though it may be.

4. Prtear

Prtear only has one magic girl who is connected to a number of men who give her, he powerswhen they are in their magic forms. The men are called Leafe Knights and are her protectors. Whileit does have a magic girl, it is also considered to be of the genre of manga and anime as a reverseharem. This manga was writen by Junichi Sato with illustrations by Kaori Naruse.

5. Wedding Peach

Wedding Peach is a manga about devils and angels which was created by manga-ka Nao Yazawa

and Sukehiro Tomita. The magic girls have two forms. The first of which looks like they're wearingschool uniforms, though they don't look like the school uniforms they actually have to wear forschool.

Their second form however transfoorms them into brides. They're wearing wedding dresses,which is a bit odd considering how restricted their movements would be in the dresses when inbattle.

There are three other magic girls, besides the titular character, Wedding Peach. They happen tobe the other Love Angels, Angel Lily, Angel Daisy and Angel Salvia.

As with many, if not all magic girl manga, there is a romantic subplot between the titularcharacter and a male with a larger role to play.

Unlike most manga, this manga was created after the anime, not before. Instead of the animebeing an adaptation of the manga, it is the manga which is an adaptation of the anime.
