Essay Review: Comics Go Classic…Again - 0 views

  • Like Classic Comics decades earlier, the Manga Editions of Shakespeare suffer two fatal flaws inherent in most edutainment: one concerning the content and the other the medium. Regarding content, the Manga Editions do not simply adapt great works of literature to a modern form; they devastate them in the process. The result is an illustrated version of CliffsNotes
  • However, there is one major difference contained within the Manga Editions of Shakespeare. Whereas Baz Luhrmann’s modernized film Romeo + Juliet is designed to entertain, the Manga Editions aim to educate, or at least substitute for education.
  • The second overarching flaw of the Manga Editions concerns the medium. This I discovered via an informal focus group of ten manga scholars: students in the manga club at Martin Luther King, Jr. High School in New York City. These high schoolers are not mere manga fans; they are devoted researchers of the genre. They read, discuss, and debate manga in school, out of school, and in their sleep, I imagine. Moreover, they create their own manga and share their work with peers, just like Japanese youths thousands of miles away. Their first impression of the Manga Editions was voiced in unison: “It’s NOT manga!”

  • “Where are the sound effects?”
  • And these devotees would not be caught reading manga from left to right like “amerimanga”
  • Finally, here was an authentic connection between Shakespeare and manga—a student’s creative synthesis and personal reflection of the original Shakespeare text.

*Manga Sutra - Futari H Book 1 - Recommended » Comics Worth Reading - 0 views

  • Through the main story of the Onodas’ sex life, the book serves as a sex education manual.
  • Aki intersperses various statistics and facts throughout the text
  • My only disappointment with the book is the lack of characterization and plot.

  • I’m disappointed with the way Tokyopop is marketing the book. The blurb on the front cover says, “A guide to getting it on.” The back cover blurb reads like a bad porn ad. Tokyopop is ignoring the stated goals of the author and trying to sell Manga Sutra as simply another hentai book.
  • This manga would be a great addition to any sexual education program. The book covers the basic information about anatomy, what to expect the first time, common sexual problems faced by both men and women, and more.

MangaBlog » Blog Archive » Review: With the Light - 0 views

  • So I was very curious about Yen Press’s debut volume, With the Light: Raising an Autistic Child, a fictional story with a real-life message. Mainly, I wondered if it would be well-intentioned but awful, the way educational comics usually are over here. Fortunately, that is not the case. With the Light is an entertaining soap opera that doesn’t preach or talk down to the reader. The dialogue does include lots of information about autism, but the story keeps moving with plenty of drama, so it never seems dry.
