Abstract

The manga are the result of an artistic and cultural expression of Japanese society. Its social and economic value has contributed to its own cultural industry strengthening over the years and generations from generation to generation. What this market experienced as its popularity grew, coincided with the development of the Internet, which, while becoming more interactive and intuitive, allowed unbridled distribution by individuals emerged within this new dynamic of content not authorized by their producers. Dialogue bridges should be established to help reflect the understanding of such practices by the fan community. The purpose of this research is the study of components of mass culture, of Japanese comics, using a context of overcoming the analog era and the repercussion of a more participatory digital society.
