A nice resource, even though I grew up reading manga, I saw a few that were new to me. The little comic strips for each example are really charming, and well drawn.

This beautiful drawn guide is an explanation of the most common kind of visual signals that we can find in a manga.
As always Fumiyo Kouno-sensei uses a flowy and expressive line in her drawings of different animals to illustrate each of the examples. They are funny and cute with an unexpected punchline.

I really enjoyed this, and it's always good to have new Kuono-sensei's translated manga.

This is such a cute, informative book! Even as someone who reads a lot of manga, there were certain symbols that I had never seen or were unfamiliar with.

I had also never heard of the Chōjū-jinbutsu-giga before, so it was neat to read a bit about that. I thought it was cute that they made the animals from that the characters on this book.

This would be a good book for anyone just getting into reading manga or for anyone confused on how to read it.
