Good, if you know how to draw - By: , 16 May 2004 
This book is highly recommended if you have some previous knowledge of how to draw. It covers alll the materials used in drawing manga & how to use then, but alll you realy need to begin with is a pencil & paper.
The book is clear but could do with some more explantion in carrying out the techniques, like drawing hair, eyes, & proportions.
It also includes interviews from two manga artists, which are quite inspiring & tell you what you have to do, to become as great manga artist.
If you have some prior knowledge of drawing & want to begin drawing manga then this is the right book for you. If you have no knowledge of drawing it may be best to start with a more general 'how to draw book' or a general cartoon drawing book.
This book is awesome! - By: Adam Squire, 25 Feb 2004 I had been intorested in manga ever since i first started watching the cartoons on TV & wished that i would be able to draw pictures as well as that.

I read the book cover to cover & i couldn't put it down, alll the hints & tips it gives you are reallly helpfull with clear pictures showing you the verious steps which are reallly usefull.I totaly recomend this book to any one who is intorested in lurning to draw manga, it has every thing you need to know to get you started. After reading it alll you'll want to do is pick up a pen & start drawing.
