Manga! Manga!: The World of Japanese Comics

Postby Angelcake » Sun Nov 25, 2007 5:38 am

I've just recently finished what is, I believe, the textbook that must be read by all true manga fanatics. I speak of course of Frederik L. Schodt's Manga! Manga!: The World of Japanese Comics.

Oh sure, it's dated, but holy crap is it ever good. I've seen series and information about series I might never have heard of had I not read this book. Such wonderful information about the history of the artform, which also reflects the history of the Japanese nation, warts and all.

To my fellow forumites, I highly reccomend this book since Mr. Tezuka, Schodt's friend, wrote an introduction to book and seemed to predict the eventual succcess of manga in the states.

Furthermore, there are four samples of some of the best in manga. There's a sample of Osamu Tezuka's Phoenix, a short story from the Senjo Manga war comics series by Leiji Matsumoto, a sample of Rose of Versailles by Riyoko Ikeda, and a sample of the near-perfect anti-war manga Barefoot Gen by Keiji Nakizawa, all in that order.

It's a must read, in every since of that phrase.

Angelcake> Just noticed you pm'd me, but you know those are broken right? As a mod I read EVERY thread, so if you have any questions for me, you're just going to have to post it publicly, somewhere...

PM's are still broken? :shock:

that gives me an idea. set up a duplicate forumthat is temporarily there for the use of it's PM system ONLY, until the one here is fixed.

or you could just set up a bunch of private topics for everyone. example: discussion between me and... jeffbert for example could not be seen by anyone else.

:shock: i just realised i have a science test today.
