Yes, back in the early days, for reasons we can only speculate *cough*Tezuka was a pedo*cough*, Astro Boy's manga included scenes of Astro Boy getting his ass oiled by his mom. New publications in both the Western and Japanese styles became popular, and at the end of the 1890s, American-style newspaper comics supplements began to appear in Japan, [60] as well as some American comic strips. [57] 1900 saw the debut of the Jiji Manga in the Jiji Shinpō newspaper—the first use of the word "manga" in its modern sense, [56] and where, in 1902, Rakuten Kitazawa began the first modern Japanese comic strip. [61] By the 1930s, comic strips were serialized in large-circulation monthly girls' and boys' magazine and collected into hardback volumes. [62] The modern era of comics in Japan began after World War II, propelled by the success of the serialized comics of the prolific Osamu Tezuka [63] and the comic strip Sazae-san. [64] Genres and audiences diversified over the following decades.
