Manga symbols – “manpu” in Japanese - are iconic or symbolic expressions used uniquely in manga, such as sweat drops, popping veins, and smoke puffs. Giga Town: A Guide to Manga Iconography! is (probably) Japan’s first guide to this manga iconography, collecting and explaining these symbols, with a short manga featuring the frolicking animals of the famous Japanese scroll Choju-jinbutsu-giga to explain each one! Giga Town: A guide to Manga Iconography includes an informative afterward that teaches the flow of manga reading, a great addition for beginning manga readers!
