However, since I was looking for a do-it-all book, I passed on it. <br/><br/>Every time I walked into that bookstore, I would take time to browse the book a little bit more. And every time I passed on it. However, later on that week, I would always have a question about making manga that I knew it was answered in this book. <br/><br/>Well, after almost a year, I finally bought it. After browsing it so many times, I can now quickly find the stuff I want to recall. It will be only a brief one or two pages explanation or demonstration, but it will be there. <br/><br/>Of course, there is not such thing as a do-it-all book for creating manga. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060780940/ref=cm_cr_asin_lnk">Making Comics: Storytelling Secrets of Comics, Manga and Graphic Novels</a> comes close, and you can find a lot of interesting details there.

This book definately fits the bill! It covers everything from the basic tools needed to create good pieces of art work, coloring and Perspective, to characters, story design, and my favorite, comic page design. This book has it all. the thing I love the most about this book is the fact that it shows each comic page being created step by step, and for me, being able to see what other books just explain in writing, makes a BIG difference. So if your looking for a book that can advise you in all of the afore mentioned areas, this is Definately your book!
