In this guide from The World of Anime and Manga series (4 titles), those wishing to explore these modes of illustrated storytelling will become acquainted with several popular genres: “Shonen and Shojo,” “Fantasy and Isekai,” “Sci-fi and Mecha,” and “Slice of Life and Sports.” A preliminary “At a Glance” section gives a clear, succinct overview of the book’s contents through a bulleted list. This is followed by an introduction that uses a fictional scenario at a high-school anime and manga club to illustrate the community and connections these stories foster. The chapters feature wide margins, colorful art, and many examples of anime and manga for each genre discussed. A glossary of terms, source notes, and recommendations for further research conclude. A straightforward, nicely organized resource.
