Art of Manga

AVAILABLE SEPTEMBER 2025

Art of Manga spotlights—and celebrates—the Japanese comics and graphic novels that are sought after and beloved by millions of readers around the globe. Manga, which refers to comics and cartooning originating in Japan, utilize a style first developed in the late nineteenth century that draws from Western comics and satire as well as from Japanese printing and art historical precedents. With its dexterous line drawings, dynamic compositions, intriguing characters, and compelling storytelling, manga is an incredibly accessible and highly enjoyable form of art. 
 
Published to coincide with a groundbreaking exhibition at the de Young in San Francisco, Art of Manga highlights ten key manga artists with rich sections devoted to their work and texts about their aesthetic themes and working methods. This prismatic volume also features essays and interviews on manga history, creation, and culture by artists, scholars, and industry professionals; timelines of manga's Japanese foundations and its relationship to the United States; and more than two hundred full-color illustrations to give the reader a deeper understanding of manga's cultural development and social impact—and a greater appreciation for its creative and mesmeric power.

 

The ten artists featured in the catalogue are Chiba Tetsuya, Akatsuka Fujio, Takahashi Rumiko, Taniguchi Jiro, Yamazaki Mari, Araki Hirohiko, Yamashita Kazumi, Tagame Gengoroh, Yoshinaga Fumi, and Oda Eiichiro, along with manga art initiative Shueisha Manga Art Heritage. Softcover, 360 pages.
