Manga For Dummies 2nd Edition

I’m a little behind the times when it comes to Manga. Sure, I know what Manga is and I understand that Manga of all genres has skyrocketed in popularity all over the globe.

But, I've never delved in the history and production of Manga.

Manga art has even changed the way Western comic books are drawn and written. It’s ironic that Manga came about when the Japanese discovered American comic books while Japan was being rebuilt after World War II.

The Japanese have always had the knack for telling stories using pictures. Manga is an extension of that updated for modern times.

In Manga For Dummies, written and illustrated by Kensuke Okabayashi and published by Wiley Brands, readers and Manga fans get more than a book containing the history of Manga-much more.

The book delves into the different genres of Manga and who reads Manga based on age, gender, interest and profession.

Learn how to select the right tools to draw Manga, how to develop a story, human anatomy, perspective, creating mechas, different character types and even how to go about getting your Manga published.

Consider the book a master class on Manga creation, history and how the business works.

Manga has conquered the world of ‘comic books’ and 'graphic novels'. It has expanded into merchandising, Anime inspired by Manga and produced superstars of the art-form.

It’s like having a miniature art studio in a book complete with helpful advice on how to make your own Manga a success.

James 2:19 - Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
