History of Manga and anime
 First appear the manga originated from choju giga which was the work of a Buddhist priest
during the Heian era named Toba Sojo Kakuyu. He depicts the various faces of animals
using a brush. Choju giga is also known to be the oldest scroll drawing in Japan which
contains paintings of animals such as rabbits, monkeys, and frogs that behave like humans.
This scroll has a length of 30 cm x 11,5 meters and consist of 4 volumes. The use of manga
drawing techniques has been seen in choju giga, with lines depicting sound effects and
characters running fast. In addition, there are also images such as cloud and fog effects that
indicate the transition of time and space.

 Furthermore, in the period of 1961, the success of Japanese manga in the modern era was one of the
roles of a doctor who was also talented as a comic artist, animator, and animation producer from
Japan, named Tezuka Osamu. He has changed the world of manga by using a more interesting
storyline and quality drawing techniques. At first, he imitated Disney’s animation style which in
turn gave birth to works that far surpassed Disney in his time. He was also the first to implement a
production system in the manga world, by diving tasks among his assistants. In addition, he also
innovated by updating the division of the box in manga writing and developing techniques for
drawing through effect lines in manga. Tezuka also pioneered a visual revolution in the world of
manga by making a 30 minutes animated TV show for the first time in Japan. One of the anime
shows that he pioneered was astro boy and became the first anime to be broadcast outside of japan.

Facts about MANGA & ANIME
 Manga is generally black and white in color and has various types of genres ranging from themes around
everyday life, youth romance, sports activities, mystery cases, to futuristic science fiction genres. In
Modern times like today, some manga also publish special editions for clolor comic series. Most manga

having big eyes. It is intended that Manga artists can more easily convey the emotions of the characters in
the Manga.

( Shounen ), girls ( Shoujo ), teenagers ( Josei ), and adults ( seinen ). These manga genres are sold freely
and can be easily found in bookstore or convenience stores all over Japan. Futhermore, manga works that
are popular and get high ratings will be adapted into animation, works by an anime production studio in
Japan.
 One of things that is also important in the world of anime is the voice actor ( seiyuu ). It is common when
we hear one anime’s voice sounding similar but with a different sound intonation according to the type of
anime character. That is the greatness of a seiyuu / voice actor who with totality makes different voice
intonations, but still makes the audience absorb the storyline in an anime film. Besides that, the theme
song or soundtrack for the opening and ending of an anime show is equally important. Music artists in
Japan are also competing to be honored by perfoming songs from major anime series. This is guarantee
that promises to increase the popularity of J-pop and J-rock artist who fill anime soundtrack in Japan.
 Colorful hair is one of the hallmarks of anime made in Japan. This is not a coincidence or
a fad. In Japan, color is a symbol that represents the character or nature of something,
including hair color in anime. For example, a character with bright green hair represents
someone who is trustworthy and has high tolerance but is prone to jealousy. Meanwhile,
red hair symbolizes a personality that tends to be passionate, ambitious, and adventuros.

manga. Japan controls nearly 60 % of animation and comic production that circulate all
over the world.
How much does a mangaka earn? This must be questioned by many lovers of reading this one. Here
are some information that I get about the income of a mangaka in general.
Broadly speaking, the income of a mangaka can be divided into 3 :
 Genkouryou, Genkouryou is the basic income of a mangaka that they receive from the company
that publishes their work. And usually, this fee is calculated per page. And usually again, the
comic publishing company will set a limit on how many comic pages they can publish, depending
on the reputation and level of popularity of the manga. By default, the pay per one page is seven
thousand yen, or roughly the equivalent of seven hundred thousand rupiah, however, if the
reputation continues to increase up to twenty thousand yen or around two million rupiah per page.
 Inzei, if a mangaka cannot rely on the income from genkouryou, a mangaka also gets “inzei” or
royalities from chapters that have been successfully booked, normally they will get 10% of the
sales of comic books they make, please also note that the average price of one comic books in
Japan range from Rp. 40.000,00.
 Another earn of mangaka is from, game, anime, and merchandise Royalities, if their manga is very
popular and made into anime, they will also get the royality, especially until they make games and
various merchandise.

income that excedds the salary of employee

Eiichiro Oda, the mangaka of the world's most


famous manga title, One Piece has a net worth of
200 Million Dollars!

it? Eiichiro Oda's 200 Million Dollar is around
2,896,510,000,000.00 or 2 Trillion 896 Billion
Rupiah!
Masahi Kishimoto. Japanese mangaka that
made Naruto this is 20 million dollars.
20 million dollars if around 289 billion
rupiah. Great indeed, but if this is accurate
then his wealth is even far from being in the
first rank later.

Just like Kishimoto, whether the total net worth of Akira


Toriyama, as the legendary mangaka who created Dragon
Ball, has been updated or not, but what is known to be his
wealth is 45 million dollars.
If you convert it, 45 million dollars is around 651 billion
rupiah.
