Red(Japanese:レッド, Hepburn:Reddo) is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Sanae Rokuya. It is licensed in North America by Digital Manga Publishing, which released the manga on 27 May 2008. [1]

Japanese is an East Asian language spoken by about 128 million people, primarily in Japan, where it is the national language. It is a member of the Japonic language family, and its relation to other languages, such as Korean, is debated. Japanese has been grouped with language families such as Ainu, Austroasiatic, and the now-discredited Altaic, but none of these proposals has gained widespread acceptance.

Hepburn romanization is a system for the romanization of Japanese that uses the Latin alphabet to write the Japanese language. It is used by most foreigners learning to spell Japanese in the Latin alphabet and by the Japanese for romanizing personal names, geographical locations, and other information such as train tables, road signs, and official communications with foreign countries. Largely based on English writing conventions, consonants closely correspond to the English pronunciation and vowels approximate the Italian pronunciation.

Manga Comics or graphic novels created in Japan

Reception

Leroy Douresseaux noted there were no sex scenes, instead there were kiss scenes, making this title teen-appropriate, but felt that without the character design, the manga was "pedestrian". [2] Danielle Van Gorder found her layouts "striking" and enjoyed the gradual unfurling of the story. [3] Holly Ellingwood enjoyed the "compelling" story. [4]
