furigana (bycicle side-wheels)

There are two kinds of mannga まんが : manga for children and manga for grown-ups. In other words,"manga for beginners in reading Japanese" and "manga for people who have already read a lot of Japanese".

These small letters, called "furigana", explain the pronunciation of the big ones.

In "msnga for advanced readers", such furigana are seldom.

So, avoid "advanced" manga at first.
