The best introduction to manga I have ever read. --Will Eisner, creator of The Spirit The informally encyclopedic Dreamland Japan--the result of Schodt's 16-plus years of studying manga--not only makes it easier to understand the art form but also says a good deal about Japanese culture...this is an authoritative reference of the different categories of manga, popular titles and publishers. --Publishers Weekly The definitive survey of the Japanese comic book mindscape... --Alvin Lu, The San Francisco Bay Guardian Panoramic --Wired Schodt gives readers a sense that manga is a vast ocean in Japan with genres undreamed of in American comics. Dreamland Japan is recommended for all comic fans--not just for the historical information, but because Japan has truly understood that comics are only limited by our imagination. -Ed Sizemore, MangaWorthReading.com No one knows more about this world and conveys it with such warmth and unpretentious insight than Frederik L. Schodt, and the timing of this collector's edition is ideal: as Schodt notes in his new afterword, manga, Japan, and those of us interested in both are undergoing radical transformations. Luckily, we have this kick-ass book to guide us. -Roland Kelts, author of Japanamerica: How Japanese Pop Culture Has Invaded the US
