The "read-aloud" function helps to supplement the literacy skills of young children, and the "vertical reading" system makes it easy for them to "read by themselves". - Cultivate your ability to express yourself
Comic-specific expressive techniques (comic notes*, onomatopoeia, etc.) enrich children's ability to express themselves.
*Comic symbols...Symbolic expressions unique to manga used to visually express the emotions, situations, and sensations of characters in manga and anime.
