If you are interested in manga, or really any kind of cartooning or storytelling, Manga Art is for you! --Jeff Smith, creator of BONE, RASL, and Tuki Save the Humans Manga Art is bursting with creative thoughts and processes. Food for any manga lover's soul! --Camilla d'Errico, painter, creator of Helmetgirls, and author of Pop Manga, Pop Painting, and Pop Manga Coloring Book I devoured this book in one sitting.
