The Citi Exhibition. Manga. Edited by Nicole Coolidge Rousmaniere (5🌟)

This book is a catalogue of the Exhibition at the British museum in 2019. It includes essays about manga, a bit of history, style, anime, etc. + extracts of manga and illustrations + interviews with creators and people in the industry.

A must read for any manga fan.

My favourite bits: Moto Hagio's The Willow Tree short story, and extract from Saint Young Men by Hikaru Nakamura, an essay about Genga' (dash) Project (which looks into the reproduction of manga manuscripts for exhibition and preservation), some history, including Hokusai and Kyõsai, and an overview of the contemporary market including alternative and obscure manga works (some of them have been published by Drawn and Quarterly).
