Do you find reading boring? Have a read of some comic books. You will lean to love their colourful pictures and

simple language. Comic books usually tell stories through cartoons. The US and Japan have some great comic books.

But they are not the same. Their names are different. People say “comic books” in the US but “manga” in Japan. American comics are often about superheroes—

characters like Superman and Spider Man. Japanese manga like to tell stories of ordinary(普通的)people. Luffy in

One Piece(<海贼王>) is such an example. American comics make people excited with super powers with a lot of

action. While Japanese manga comfort people with heartwarming stories. Natsume’s Book of Friends(<夏目友人帐>)

is about a teenage boy. He can see spirits(精灵). He is confused at first but later he makes friends with spirits.

If you are not interested in these two kinds, why not try some from China? Xia Da is a great comic book artist

from China. Some of her comic books are about school life. Others show the beauty of Chinese culture.
