Discussion forum Answer the following questions in your own words (at least 5 sentences): 1. What is the Kariton Klasrum? Why was it built? Klasrum Kariton was a project founded by Efren Peñaflorida Jr. that serves as a safe space for all marginalized children. It serves as a mobile learning space for the children, where they used pushcarts to bring reading and writing materials to teach them how to read, write, and how to take care of themselves.

Why?      Despite the fact that I am an avid reader of several comic books, it was only now that I started to read manga because I was used to watching the anime. Although I know that most popular anime were adapted from manga and that most people think that the original version (manga) is better, for me, I liked watching anime better. In most of the anime I've been watching, there are scenes that require better transitions to what will happen in the situation. From the manga I've read so far, it was a bit difficult to understand fight scenes because they have to cut of several scenes to fit in the comic panels. Besides that, anime provides a better visual aesthetic as there are colors present, unlike in manga where it remains black and white. Another advantage that anime has is that with...
