    A cell phone novel, or mobile phone novel (Japanese:携帯小型, Hepbum: keilai shosetsu. Chinese,手機小說: pinyin: shoqi xiáo shud), were literary works originally written on a cellular phone via text massaging. This type of literature originated in Japan, where it became a popular literary genre. However, its popularity also spread to other countries internationally especially to China, United States, Germany, Italy and South Africa. Chapters usually consist of about 70-100 words each due to character limitations on cell phones.

    Phone novels started out primarily read and authored by young women on the subject of romantic fiction such as relationships, lovers, rape, love triangles, and pregnancy. However, mobile phone novels gained worldwide popularity on broader subjects. Rather than appearing in printed form, the literature was typically sent directly to the reader via email, SMS text message, or subscription. through an online writing and sharing website, chapter by chapter. Japanese Internet ethos regarding mobile phone novels is dominated by pen names and forged identities. Therefore, identities of the Japanese authors of mobile phone novels are rarely disclosed.

    Japanese cell phone novels were also downloaded in short installments and run on handsets as Java-based mobile applications in three different formats: WMLD, JAVA and TXT. In 2007, 98 cell phone novels were published into books. Koizora was a popular phone novel with approximately 12 million views on-line, written by "Mika", that was not only published but turned into a movie. Five out of the ten best-selling novels in Japan in 2007 were originally cell phone novels.

MANGA

MANGA Manga is the form of comic books and graphic novels that originated in Japan. The word manga comes from two Japanese words: “man,” which means “whimsical or impromptu,” and “ga,” which translates to “pictures.”   The term manga in Japan encompasses both comics and cartoons, while it primarily refers to Japanese-originated comics when used outside of the country.   Most Manga narratives are presented in black and white , allowing readers to absorb the extensive material without any interruptions.

It is focused on story, meaning it has a narrative plot with an inciting moment, rising action, climax and denouement, just like fiction. However, nonfiction only works if the story is based in truth, an accurate retelling of the author’s life experiences. The pieces can vary greatly in length, just as fiction can; anything from a book-length autobiography to a 500-word food blog post can fall within the genre.      Additionally, the genre borrows some aspects, in terms of voice, from poetry; poets generally look for truth and write about the realities they see. While there are many exceptions to this, such as the persona poem, the nonfiction genre depends on the writer’s ability to render their voice in a realistic fashion, just as poetry so often does.
