Muslim Manga Artist

July 2, 2008 by Wang Daiyu

The topic of Manga and Anime amongst Muslim artists has come up before. As a side note I have noticed that many people from Gulf like Japanese Anime since they grew up with it. I would expect that may be at least one of them may start something. While there may not be a large population of Muslim Manga artists out there I did come into contact with one. Even better the person in question happens to be a Chinese Muslima. Here is Kalmla Tung known as Miiz Mei. I presume that in retrospect it should not be surprising that its a Chinese Muslima who is interested in this sort of work. Her work can be found here and here.

[...] Earlier I posted a link about a Chinese Muslim Manga artist. This is like a follow up post. It appears that she is not the only one but has a whole pool of talented Manga people in her family. Here are the link to the other Chinese Muslim artists in the Tung clan. [...]

Noori, There are many Muslims out there who are interested in this stuff. There has to be a way to connect these people I guess.

Angel, welcome to the blog. I am not aware of any Arab cartoons but good luck on that.
