Manga: another way to read and think

When I was young, I was an avid reader. I read every single thing that had letters on it. But when I wanted to read a book, I was a little bit more selective: I was just interested in ancient books like The Odissey or The Divine Comedy, mostly because the huge amount of mythological content those titles had. But when I grew up, I was starting to getting bored of the way they told those kind of stories. But then, I discovered something that was a more interesting way of reading: manga.

You see, not everything in Japan is weird stuff, tentacles and weird humor: they also deal with moral concepts and ways of thinking inside their plots and characters. For example, right now I'm reading two mangas: Berserk, who deals with things such as the thin line between good and bad actions and that you need to fight for the things you want because people who wants everything without doing anything are going to be left behind (and everything is told in a medieval fantasy world, so that's a plus for me); and Shingeki No Kyojin, a tale set in a world ruled by titans and the only place that humanity can survive is surrounded by giant walls. This one is also quite interesting, dealing with the concept of the fragility of humanity against things that they cannot comprehend and the censorship imposed by the people who rule above everyone. 

The thing with manga is that you can find whatever you are looking for: love histories, fantasy, epic tales, horror,... And everything is ilustrated, so if you are really lazy (like me) and you don't want to imagine something just by reading text, this is the world for you.
