A well written and very well illustrated guide for budding manga artists. Hikaru Hayashi uses bold, clear drawings showing the different techniques you can use. He includes many little tips that may not seem like much, but when put into practice can make a drawing look a hundred times better. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in drawing manga, as it gives good advice on drawing female figures, including proportions, how to make your drawings eye-catching, and tips from professional manga artists. The only thing this book is lacking is a little more attention to detail on the face and hair, but still a very very good guide!
