Though the United Kingdom has fewer manga publishers than the U.S, most manga sold in the United Kingdom are published by U.S publishing companies like Viz media and Kodansha Comics which are in turn owned by their Japanese counterparts. One example of a manga publisher in the United States, VIZ Media, functions as the American affiliate of the Japanese publishers Shogakukan and Shueisha. In the United States, manga comprises a small (but growing) industry, especially when compared to the inroads that Japanese animation or Japanese video Games have made in the USA. In 2007, 70% of the comics sold in Germany were manga. France represents about 40% of the European comic market and in 2011 comic represented 40% of the comics being published in the country. Manga, or comics, have appeared in translation in many different languages in different countries.
