Manga! Manga! The World of Japanese Comics Frederik L. Schodt Foreward by Ozamu Tezuka With A New Preface By The Author The cover features the covers of many different Japanese comics.

Since its publication in 1983 Manga! Manga!: The World of Japanese Comics has been the book for all those interested in Japanese comics. It is virtually a “bible” from which all studies and appreciation of manga begin. Moreover, given the influence of Japanese manga on animation and on American-produced comics as well, Manga! Manga! provides the background against which these other arts can be understood. A Collector’s Edition is available for those who fully appreciate the value of the book and want an edition that aesthetically expresses that value. Manga! Manga! includes 96 pages from Osamu Tezuka’s Phoenix, Reiji Matsumoto’s Ghost Warrior, Riyoko Ikeda’s The Rose of Versailles, and Keiji Nakazawa’s Barefoot Gen. “Phenomenal book… an exceptionally literate writer.” - Cat Yronwode “… a thoroughgoing exposition of the manga genre in text and pictures.” - The New Yorker “An excellent historical guide to manga, as well as a fine introduction to various artists and major thematic concerns.” - Variety “Buy this book. Read.” - The Comics Buyer’s Guide Frederik L. Schodt is a writer, translator, and interpreter who lives in San Francisco. His books include America and the Four Japans and Dreamland Japan: Writings on Modern Japan. Among his translations of novels are the Gundam Mobile Suit: Awaking, The Gundam Mobile Suit: Escalation, The Gundam Mobile Suit: Confrontation, and My Boy: A Father’s Memories. His translations of manga include Barefoot Gen: A Cartoon of Hiroshima (vol. 2), The Rose of Versailles (vols. 1 & 2), and Ghost in the Shell.

The book I left in the library was Manga! Manga!: The World of Japanese Comics by Frederik L. Schodt. The church is also a school, so I thought it might appeal to a young person. Also, everyone should read #manga.

des Orizuru Tower sah man ihn nicht,
keinen Pekingesen, stinkenden Chinesen,
nur in Wasserfarben Miyajima hinter den Austernbänken im Meer;
Hände hielten Matcha und Omochi.
