These are collections of artwork by a new generation of manga artists appearing on the manga scene after Graphic-sha began publication of its "How To Draw Manga" series. Within each volume is featured especially created artwork by carefully selected leading young artists currently active in the Japanese manga and anime art scene. Also included are designs selected from amongst published works of the artists. In the second half of each guide, the artists offer tips on creating artwork. These black and white pages present not only the completed designs, but also rough sketches, thoughts at the creation stage, and comments by the artist. With a collection of illustrations, comments by each artist on each piece, as well as the artist's sources of inspiration, each of these volumes is a must have for manga fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Amazing! Beautiful!,
By Kerstin Lori Johnson "Richie" (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The New Generation of Manga Artists Vol. 1: The Koh Kawarajima Portfolio (v. 1) (Paperback)
Koh Kawarajima's portfolio is absolutely breath-taking with vibrant, and well-detailed pieces of manga. Like the review below states, some of the pictures may be a little "showy" but it does not mean that I would NOT recommend this book. This book is good for anyone who wants to get inspired or for advanced manga artists who want to practice by looking and then mimic Koh's works. HIGHLY recommended!

3.0 out of 5 stars
I wish I could rate this higher.,
This review is from: The New Generation of Manga Artists Vol. 1: The Koh Kawarajima Portfolio (v. 1) (Paperback)
The artist, Koh Kawarajima and his crew are very talented and are remarkable at what they do. The art in this book is very well done with innovative designs, vibrant colors, and astonishing backgrounds. The style of the manga in this book is my favorite, big eyes, long hair and cute faces. There is about 64 pictures not including the pencil drawing rough drafts in the back. I wish this is all I could say about the book, but it isn't.
The reason I can not recommend this book is this; girls that show too much. Most pictures are rather modest, but some go too far. A few pictures have girls that are barley clothed and some that aren't clothed at all. Some are intentionally sticking their butt and some are about to "fall out" of what they are wearing. Some are in bathing suits and some are in their underwear. This is typical for manga I'm sorry to say, and I can not advocate this for anyone.
