About The Site

Manga Therapy is a blog/site that takes a look into the psychological aspects of Japanese manga (comics) characters, past and present.

The blog was created by Tony Yao, who credits manga as one of his main inspirations in moving forward with life.

The overall mission of the blog is to:

To educate people about the psychological complexities of manga/anime/video game characters by drawing comparisons with said characters to real people & real-life situations and emphasizing that these forms of media can be used as ways to learn and motivate oneself & others.
