Well, some of you may not know what manga is. So first I'll
try to exlained it to those that haven't know.
Manga is comic book that came from Japan. Basically, they
divided it into 2 kind. The first one is called Shonen, it
is comic that storyline are meant for boys.The example are
like Naruto, One Piece, or the famous Inuyasha.And the second
are called Shoujo, this one are meant for girls (eventhough
boys also read them). The story line ussually revolve around
romantic things. In indonesia, they used to call it "Serial
Cantik", books like mari-chan and Glass Mask (Topeng
Kaca).
Actually, there is another kind of manga. The one that can
be read by either boys and girls, it is called bishoujo. The
example is like Doraemon, H2, and Ranma.

Okay, now my hobby is actually collecting scanlations And
now you'll ask again.... what is scanlation....
Scanlation are shorts for "Scan anda Translation".
It is Manga that have been Scanned into computer and translated
into other language (english, or mandarin mostly). The one
who Scanlate it are the fans of the manga it self. They did
it without being paid. But usually the manga Scanlation stop
after the manga got licensed (although sometimes you can still
find and download them through MIRC).
