This book spans the history of manga in all its splendour and diversity: from its roots in the caricatures on ancient scrolls to Hokusai's seminal manga in 1814 to the onset of the gekiga in the 1950s; from the landmark Astro Boy of Tezuka Ozamu to Lady Oscar, Riyolo Ikedan's shôjo manga aimed at young girls.
