Question: Anime Store in Cairo.?
Temporarily i'm living in Cairo. There is a possibility to move freely around the city, but because of ignorance do not know where to go. First of all I am interested, whether there are shops in Cairo with various things associated with anime, like figurines, pendants, cosplay, etc. I am not interested in DVD. I need address anime shop or web-site. p.s.: sorry to my bad English
Answer: I've looked everywhere for cos play shops in Alexandria, unfortunately I didn't find any, I don't know about Cairo though, seems not a lot of Egyptians are into Anime

Question: Is manga a graphic novel or a comic book?
Is manga a graphic novel or a comic book?
For English homework we have been asked to adapt part of a book to one of these formats and I was hoping to do it in manga form but am not sure whether this counts as a comic book or graphic novel.
Also, if I do end up doing manga, should I do it backwards like they do in Japan (I live in England) - I do have some manga books I can look at for reference material to enable it to be read backwards.
Answer: It's not backwards!! Its Japanese Style lol.
Comic books and graphic novels can be used interchangebly, but graphic novels usually contain more serious and mature themes like Watchmen.
Manga in Japan is similar to books in the West, they have genres of every kind, from adult to fantasy to action to romance. So some resemble comic books aimed at kids, while other resemble graphic novels aimed at adults.
Try looking for the manga adaptation of Star Wars, they do it right to left and was like the movie, but when it came to the west they reversed it so everyone walked in the opposite direction.
