Manga World(Un Monde Manga)

France · 2005
52m
Director Hervé Martin-Delpierre
Starring Takehiko Inoue, Kan Takahama, Jirô Taniguchi, Osamu Tezuka
Genre Documentary

Filmed in Japan, this program looks beyond the stereotypes to objectively examine the history of manga, how manga are drawn, and manga's influence on Japanese life as illustrated by cosplay bars, where people dress up as their favorite characters; manga kissa, 24/7 manga cafes; and Comicket, the twice-annual comics market that draws hundreds of thousands of visitors. The program also introduces viewers to a cross-section of mangaka icons: Vagabond creator Takehiko Inoue; Naoki Urasawa, author of The Pushman and Other Stories; Jiro Taniguchi; Yoshihiro Tatsumi; and Kan Takahama.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
