Category:OEL Manga

Short for 'Original English Language Manga, these are graphic novels and comic books that utilize Manga techniques (or try to, anyway) and were originally written in English, instead of Japanese. Since these are generally targeted at North American, Australian and British readers, they are typically read left-to-right like other Western works. (But not always)

Note that some purists may not consider Original English Language manga as "real" manga, as the latter is sometimes considered an exclusively Japanese creation.

Many manga-esque Web Comics are also originally written in English, and thereby qualify for this index.
