A book on "How to Draw Manga" by Osamu Tezuka, as the title suggests. This is a paperback edition of the original work published in 1977.The author's intended primary audience is "people who have never drawn before." He says to start with doodling. All you need is paper and a pencil. Tezuka repeatedly says this. Then, he generously reveals concrete techniques such as the basic concepts of "omission, exaggeration, and deformation" and how to draw based on them, as well as a "problem set" for actually "twisting out" ideas, opening the door to the world of manga wide open. For example, there is a two-page spread titled "Let's Make Various Faces." On the right page, eight variations each of eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth are drawn, and on the left page, 32 example faces are arranged by combining them. The book is enjoyable and easy to understand, making you want to doodle on the nearest paper, just as the author intended.On the other hand, while stating that it's okay to skip these parts, he also includes professional techniques, specialized knowledge such as printing, and stern messages to aspiring professionals and new manga artists. This tendency becomes stronger towards the latter half, making it a rewarding read for Tezuka fans and manga fans.
