I was an avid anime watcher until I was about 10, when I moved to manga. I think I am influenced by Osamu Tezuka's and Walt Disney's works which I watched during that time, such as Tetsuwan Atom and 101 Dalmatians.
I'm a comic reader and a manga fan.
I work at a high school, and we have an anime and manga club.
I do enjoy manga but would not consider myself a 'super-fan,' only really connecting with certain works such as 'Lone Wolf and Cub,' or 'Tekkon Kinkreet,' the more breakthrough works, and 'Akira,' to me, is the daddy of them all.
I've been immersed in manga since I was a kid. I grew up with this culture.
I've been immersed in manga since I was a kid. I grew up with this culture. So I started to think about how to compare manga to contemporary art.
I've always loved Japanese legend, anime and manga.
Simply put, I'm glad that manga as an expressive form is expanding.
I get a lot of inspiration from Japanese manga, especially shoujo which tends to have elaborate and fantastical adventure plots.
My house is like a manga library in many ways, and it's great because I get to call it research.
