If you're talkin' about MANGA (literal translation: "random or whimsical pictures"), it's the Japanese word for Comics, or Print Art. It developed from a mixture of ukiyo-e ("pictures of the floating world", is a genre of Japanese woodblock prints or woodcuts) and foreign styles of drawing, and took its current form shortly after World War II. It comes mainly in black and white, except for the covers and sometimes the first few pages, and in some Animanga all the pages are colored.

it's known in the 20th and 21st centuries through Dr. Osamu Tezuka, widely acknowledged to be the father of story-based manga, He was inspired to become a comic artist after seeing a war propaganda movie (Momotarou Uminokaihei) that was based (and largely influenced by) from Disney's Fantasia animation film. As a children's film, the main theme of Fantasia was peace and hope in a time of darkness.

He introduced film-like storytelling and character in comic format in which each short film-like episode worked as part of larger story arc. The only text in Tezuka's comics was the characters' dialogue and this lent the comics a cinematic quality. Tezuka also adopted Disney-like facial features where a character's eyes, mouth, eyebrows and nose are drawn in a very exaggerated manner to add more distinct characterization with fewer lines, which made his work popular. in fact it was featured in a children's magazine and soon became a specialized weekly or monthly comic magazine of its own, which is now the foundation of the Japanese comic industry.

he was often able to adapt this style to almost all film genres of the time ranging from Action/Adventure, serious drama, science fiction and horror.

It is not the Swastika, it is the other way round. Nazi - 卐 Buddhist - 卍 The symbol on Japanese maps shows the location of a Buddhist temple. It was used as a religious symbol long before it was a symbol for the Nazis. It represents dharma, universal harmony, and the balance of opposites in Buddhism.
