Manga about Japan

picapica · Apr 29, 2002, 05:00

Hi,

I have just read a manga that presents satirical views on Japan and found it very interesting and entertaining. This manga (comic book/graphic novel) is called "Visions of Japan".

I was wondering if any of you know of other manga/comic books that deal with the same topic ? (i.e. mangas/comics/cartoons that present some aspects of Japan (culture, social, etc.) with satire and humour ? If so, please let me know.

In advance thank you.

And for those of you who may be interested in "Visions of Japan", the book can be ordered from the publisher directly at: imangaa@yahoo.co.uk
They are in Europe but very helpful and friendly.

Looking forward to your replies.

hmmm ... been thinking about this for a while.

I guess if you are up to it. You could try finding 4-koma (comic strips) that target society and latest issues ... too bad they mostly reside in newspapers and magazines.
