Christian manga retells biblical stories using Japanese manga art style to make Scripture more accessible, especially to younger readers. The genre was innovated by Siku, who pioneered it with The Manga Bible and The Manga Jesus—the first manga retellings proving Christian manga could reach a global audience. Unlike traditional Bible illustrations, Christian manga uses fast-paced storytelling and expressive character designs to create engaging narratives that resonate with those new to the Bible.
