http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manga#History_and_characteristics 维基百科全书打不出来,网页警告敏感词汇 http://www.matt-thorn.com/mangagaku/history.html Why 1950?Although Tezuka helped transform manga from a simple form of children's entertainment into a sophisticated medium that children were reluctant to abandon as they grew older,the stylistic innovations of one artist didn't make manga into the wildly lucrative industry it is today.To understand that,we have to look at manga in the context of postwar Japanese history and the other mass media with which it was competing.In 1954,when television broadcasting first began in Japan,there were only 866 television sets in the entire country.By 1959—the year Japan's media went wild over the wedding of the crown prince—the number was two million.Television,with its weekly programming format,set the pace for the flow of information and entertainment in a postwar Japan that was undergoing rapid economic development,and the other media followed suit.In 1956,Japan's first weekly magazine appeared,setting off a boom in weeklies that would encompass even the children's market before the decade was out.In 1959,Weekly Shnen Magazine and Weekly Shnen Sunday became the first children's weeklies,and others soon followed.Initially,these magazines were conceived of as general education and entertainment magazines,with manga usually occupying no more than forty percent of each issue.But circulations (hovering around 200,000) were low,as were those of the traditional monthly children's magazines.It didn't take long,however,for publishers to figure out that they could raise sales by increasing the the space dedicated to manga.Within a few years,manga came to occupy more than half of the total space,and at the same time,the magazines gradually phased out "educational" items,much to the horror and disgust of the educators and parents groups that had supported them early on.In Japan,however,there were to be no government hearings of the kind that intimidated and crippled the American comic book industry in the mid-1950s,and despite some blustering,sales continued to rise.
