This review is from: Creating Manga Superheroes & Comic Book Characters (Paperback)

When I heard my neice was into manga, I did some research. Most everything I looked at was very inappropriate for a young adult. This book however is very appropriate. It is well made (nicer than a paper back) & has great color.
