Mangas, Japanese comic books, have a long history as broadsheets created for centuries in Japan. Modern mangas, exploding after the Second World War and heavily influenced by prolific cartoonist, Osamu Tezuka, are read by most Japanese and are now exported and translated throughout the world. Mangas have many genres for girls, boys, men and women of all ages and are the fastest growing sector of the comic book industries of countries, such as Italy, France and the United States
