I've seen a lot of people whining about this series of books saying that it is hard to follow and in some cases people have said that it is more of an exhibition than a tutorial book. This isn't the case. The Monster Book of Manga is brilliant for improving your artwork before writing manga or comics which you intend to submit. It DOES however require some knowledge of drawing and manga.
The book takes you through 8 stages of a variety of drawings taking you from building the base shape right to lighting, shading and those little finishing touches. The book is 383 pages long and is packed with different drawings for you to adapt. It makes a great addition to the original book in the series which unfortunately, does not have a specific section for male characters.
I've not had this book long, but have already found it very rewarding!
Note: This is most definitely NOT for beginners!!!

I love this book! The artwork is absolutely beautiful, and each male character is shown in stages, from the simple skeleton sketch up to the finished product. Useful shorts of writing accompany each image, however, I wouldn't say that this book is best for beginners.
I've got alot of books on drawing manga and have been drawing it for years, and this is a welcome addition to my bookshelf :)
However, if you're just starting out, I recommend you have the basic knowledge of drawing manga before buying this book. If you do, and are interested in the many different types of male characters in manga, then this is a must have book!

I've been drawing manga for several years and I was really excited about this book and when I opened it the pages are spread without step by step how to draw there is one pose for each character it is mainly about the ink colouring rather than the drawing. I felt it was padded out with things and I am so disappointed there isn't any 'proper' manga in it including more Bishonen which is one of the best things to draw. It doesn't go into facial detail or different poses or different styles of boy it goes into the boy on the cover, loads of big muscle men, a cowboy etc it isn't anything like you would see in common manga stories, I guess young boys might like it who are all into action man and such but as an actual artist I would say DO NOT waste your money!!
