Fantasy Manga
Genre that uses magic and other supernatural forms as a main element of plot, theme and/or setting. The identifying trait of fantasy is the inclusion of fantastic elements in a self-coherent (internally consistent) setting. Within such a structure, any location of the fantastical element is possible: it may be hidden in, or leak into the apparently real world setting, it may draw the characters into a world with such elements, or it may occur entirely in a fantasy world setting, where such elements are part of the world. In the most common form of fantasy, the story takes place in settings similar to the European Middle Ages, although actually it might be other continent, time or even planet. Fantasy plots usually revolve around few main tropes: the conflict of good against evil personified in single, Dark Lord’s form; quests, in which main characters are taking part [and which might be a central point of the plot]; heroic characters capable of more than ordinary behavior, whose aim is to obtain something, or someone, by the quest and with this object return home; overwhelming in presence magic; sentient “races”/species which co-exists in one reality.
