Are there any japanese comic news group?

maNga was formed in the year 2002, being named after the word for Japanese comic books, Manga. Initially, they were mostly underground, playing covers of other rock and metal bands. They came into the public spotlight after finishing runner-up at the Sing your song' music contest. This caught the attention of Sony Music, who immediately signed them up in 2004. Their self-titled debut album was released soon after, becoming a massive hit.
