Chibis are the cute, miniature characters and creatures of Japanese comics. Chibis appear in all genres of manga, from the serious to the broadly comedic, which is why they enjoy such a high recognition factor among manga readers. And because chibis are such stylised and fun characters, many manga fans are motivated to learn how to draw them. In this book, chibis are covered character by character, according to the various subgenres in which they appear, including fantasy, occult, shoujo, fairy and action. In addition, important and appealing character design instruction is discussed, such as creating chibi eyes, body language and action poses. New to this book is the introduction of adorable chibi animals, chibi witches and vampires (all cute!), as well as harmless and hilarious little bad guys. Completing the book is a section on creating chibi props and backgrounds, which is designed to give readers the tools necessary to make their own chibi scenes and environments.

Okay, so I LOVE Chibi style manga, and no matter however good-or however bad-you are at it, this is for you.
Since I'm inside the U.K. I chose 'Super Saver' Delivery, and ordered on the 29th of January 2011. It arrived on the 2nd of February.
Two days before it was due.
This is so good, I can't describe it...I'm so happy with it!!!
Over 100 pages of pure awesomeness, 'Manga for the Beginner: Chibis' makes a perfect gift for yourself, your friend. Scratch that, a perfect book for EVERYONE! If there are any negative reviews, mark them as NOT HELPFUL, because they are big fat LIARS.

My 10 yr old sister has always wanted to draw manga, as I have for about three years. I decided it would be best to start her off with simple chibi. She started to use the book straight away and is now progressing very well. All of the instructions are very clear and easy to follow, I have even used it myself one or two times :). Overall it is an amazingly good book and I recommend it to anyone who wishes to learn manga :D

This book is amazing! There is every type of chibi you could hope for! I started drawing straight away. The book ranges from shounen (action style) to chibi animals! It's awesome! A good buy, well worth the money! Easy to follow instructions, good results, children and adults can do this!! :D <3
