Review: Awesome resource. - Awesome material. This is gold for anyone wanting to write stories, characters. Not just manga. Seriously a good resource. Review: The book you didn't know you needed! - This is my second time reading this book, I have a physical copy and this is my digital copy. I like how easy and understandable this book is especially for those who want to pursue a career in any creative field be it writing, drawing or comic book creation. What I dislike is that it's a stand-alone book and I would really have looked forward to the author making another part of the series. I would recommend this book to fellow writers, illustrators, and comic book artists and comic book writers. Anyone who wants to get into the business of storytelling. I chose this rating based on how the information was given and how it's easy to follow and apply to your own story telling. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #18,678 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6 in How to Create Manga #29 in Fiction Writing Reference (Books) #313 in Action & Adventure Manga (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 2,643 Reviews | ## Images ![Manga in Theory and Practice: The Craft of Creating Manga - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81+DhwtO4AL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome resource. *by N***S on February 5, 2026* Awesome material.

Hirohiko Araki is most known for his best selling manga. JoJo's Bizzare Adventure, much to his own dismay. If you're a fan of the series, or really just a fan of the author. this book is a go-to. My only issue with the product is that it arrived with a misfolded page, which really is no big deal since it staightened out after a few days. I love this book so much, and that will never change. ## Frequently Bought Together - Manga in Theory and Practice: The Craft of Creating Manga - JoJo 6251: The World of Hirohiko Araki - JoJo A-Go!Go! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/43284271-manga-in-theory-and-practice-the-craft-of-creating-manga](https://www.desertcart.us/products/43284271-manga-in-theory-and-practice-the-craft-of-creating-manga) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-08*
