Manga has taken the world by storm. A richly diverse medium, the Japanese comics phenomenon has something for everyone - fantasy, horror, thrillers, romance, history, biography, sport, business, and even school textbooks. This book chronicles the evolution of manga from its samurai-era beginnings, through its post-WWII surge in popularity, to its meteoric rise overseas. The book explores the key writers and artists who have shaped an entire culture with their visions and stylings, the iconic characters now recognised worldwide, and manga's impact on anime and live-action film and TV.
