Great explanation of how to work on your composition in a Manga style. Its about how to make great poster illustrations, scenes, or dynamic prints. this book is not about "paneling" Manga pages. "manga" refers to the art style they are drawing in. I use these fundamentals every day with my professional art and this book knows a lot of how to really take your art to the next level.

There was very little in terms of composition for manga. It is more of a general composition book for illustration. No information about sequential framing or layout of speech bubbles with art.
