Red (レッド, Reddo^?) is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Sanae Rokuya. It is licensed in North America by Digital Manga Publishing, which released the manga on 27 May 2008.

Leroy Douresseaux noted there were no sex scenes, instead there were kiss scenes, making this title teen-appropriate, but felt that without the character design, the manga was "pedestrian". Danielle Van Gorder found her layouts "striking" and enjoyed the gradual unfurling of the story. Holly Ellingwood enjoyed the "compelling" story.

Red is any of a number of similar colors evoked by light consisting predominantly of the longest wavelengths discernible by the human eye, in the wavelength range of roughly 630–740 nm. Longer wavelengths just past this range are called infrared (below red) and cannot be seen by the naked eye although they can be sensed as heat. In some cultures, certain shades of red are used to symbolize anger or aggression.

It is the color of blood when it is exposed to sunlight. In western countries, it is most commonly referred to as a color of evil, love, and sometimes, though rarely, happiness.

The word red comes from the Old English rēad. The word can be further traced to the Proto-Germanic rauthaz and the Proto-Indo European root reudh-. In Sanskrit, the word rudhira means red or blood. In the English language, the word red is associated with the color of blood, certain flowers (e.g., roses), and ripe fruits (e.g., apples, cherries). Fire is also strongly connected, as is the sun and the sky at sunset. Healthy, light-skinned people are sometimes said to have a "ruddy" complexion (as opposed to appearing pale). After the rise of socialism in the mid-19th century, red was used to symbolize and describe revolutionary movements.

Manga are comics created in Japan, or by Japanese creators in the Japanese language, conforming to a style developed in Japan in the late 19th century. They have a long, complex pre-history in earlier Japanese art.

In Japan, people of all ages read manga. The medium includes works in a broad range of genres: action-adventure, romance, sports and games, historical drama, comedy, science fiction and fantasy, mystery, horror, sexuality, and business/commerce, among others. Since the 1950s, manga has steadily become a major part of the Japanese publishing industry, representing a ¥406 billion market in Japan in 2007 (approximately $3.6 billion) and ¥420 billion ($5.5 billion) in 2009. Manga have also gained a significant worldwide audience. In Europe and the Middle East the market is worth $250 million. In 2008, the U.S. and Canadian manga market was valued at $175 million. The markets in France and the United States are about the same size. Manga stories are typically printed in black-and-white, although some full-color manga exist (e.g. Colorful). In Japan, manga are usually serialized in large manga magazines, often containing many stories, each presented in a single episode to be continued in the next issue. If the series is successful, collected chapters may be republished in paperback books called tankōbon. A manga artist (mangaka in Japanese) typically works with a few assistants in a small studio and is associated with a creative editor from a commercial publishing company. If a manga series is popular enough, it may be animated after or even during its run, although sometimes manga are drawn centering on previously existing live-action or animated films (e.g. Star Wars).

Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas (born 1954) is a visual artist, and creator of Haida manga, from Delkatla in Masset on Haida Gwaii.

His work is exhibited in Japan, Korea, England, and Canada. In addition to works on paper, mulberry bark, canvases and metal sculptures Yahgulanaas continues to publish books. The original 5 meter long mural that was published in 2009 as "RED, a Haida manga" is on a multi year exhibit tour. Another book, "Hachidori" has sold over 100,000 copies in Japan with a single day record sale of 20,000 copies. "Flight of the Hummingbird" first published in North America and now available in five languages is also a best seller and includes essays contributed by the Dalai Lama and Nobel Peace prize winner Wangari Maathai. "Declaration of Interdependence" by Dr David Suzuki was illustrated by Yahgulanaas.

Yahgulanaas works in metal includes commissions from the British Museum (2010), The City of Vancouver (2011) and the Winter 2010 Olympics organizing committee.

Although Yahgulanaas trained under master carvers his brief exposure to Chinese brush techniques with Cai Ben Kwan encouraged a departure from the typical expressions of the Haida Art form and the development of a new genre of narrative art called "Haida manga." A descendant of the much noted Haida artist, Charles Edenshaw a member of the Saangaahl laanas sdastaas clan, he was raised by Bruce Hageman of the same Clan and Babs Hageman (Yahjaanaas) in the historic site of Delkatla, Haida Gwaii.
