520    With Japanese art influencing everything from action 
       figures to breakfast cereals, the question is not where to
       find books on drawing manga, but which of the many 
       available titles are best for your library. This book is 
       by far the most authentic?having been written, illustrated,
       and endorsed by Japanese manga artists and published first
       in Japanese. Basics covers characters, effects, 
       backgrounds, and coloring. It teaches drawing by way of 
       explanatory text and samples rather than showing a step-by
       -step production of a character. This style allows serious
       art students to feel as though they are being taught 
       rather than simply learning to copy a specific drawing. 
       Because this book was translated from a right-to-left-
       reading format into a left-to-right format, and because 
       much of the book takes place in panels, comics-style, 
       there is a slight learning curve involved in reading it. 
       Still, manga fans will have no problem deciphering it and 
       will benefit from its mixture of playfulness and 
       professionalism. The book includes an interview with 
       Shinji Mizushima, who draws baseball-themed manga, a 
       welcomed respite from the usual sci-fi/fantasy-themed art 
       that is, admittedly, more popular in the United States. He
       offers some interesting insights into what it's like to be
       a professional manga artist--School Library Journal.
