Guide to the world of manga: Illustrated guide. Pinon M., Lefevr L.

The history of visual plots in Japanese culture has more than one century, but it was in the 1950s, after the Second World War, what we call the manga in the country of the rising sun. The drawn stories quickly become the favorite entertainment of the Japanese, and after several decades they conquer the whole world.

In this illustrated book, the authors talk in detail about how the manga has become one of the main pillars of popular culture around the world and so people buy billions of volumes of Japanese illustrated plots annually.
