How I Created my own Manga in Japan

Fascinated with Japan from an early age, American Benjamin Boas first learned the language via manga and video games, and then penned a comic of his own. Loosely translated as ‘I Learned about Japan from Manga and Video Games’, this entertaining tome recounts Ben’s experiences in manga form, and should be easy enough to understand even if your Japanese reading skills aren’t perfect. For this talk and book signing, the author will speak about how his love of Japanese pop culture brought him to Japan and led him to create his very own comic. It’ll include tips on studying Japanese, the process of publication in Japan and much more!
