Kugali Spotlight – Black Manga and Anime Characters created by Black Authors



If you’re a fan of and manga chances are you’ve noticed that characters with dark skin hardly ever show up. Even when they do they are often portrayed as criminals or slaves (not to dissimilar to Hollywood actually). Therefore, we decided to explore some the notable exceptions to this very disappointing trend. We found several creators that have adopted the manga aesthetic and storytelling structure so here are some nice representations of black characters in anime.
Here’s an anime produced by CrunchyRoll and a black creator, LeSean Thomas: http://www.blog.kugali.com/lesean-thomas-and-crunchyroll-create-new-anime-children-ether/
Here are black characters in mainstream anime that we love: http://www.blog.kugali.com/black-mangaanime-characters-we-love/
