THE BOOK THAT TEACHES HOW TO DRAW SENSUAL FEMALE MANGA CHARACTERS — FROM TOP TO BOTTOM! Most other "how to draw" books shy away from showing the female figure in its full glory. But Manga University, which has been the "How to Draw Manga" leader for more than 20 years, knows that if you want to draw like a professional, you need to be taught by professionals who aren’t afraid to show it like it is. With "How to Draw Manga: The Female Character," you’ll learn to draw the glorious curves and sexy shapes that give female manga characters their undeniable appeal. From head to toe — including the breasts and buttocks — little is left to the imagination! Review: Helpful - This book is great for showing you how to draw various figures and clothing styles Review: Good stylization starter - Pretty good for beginners to learn some of the basics to stylize figures into anime. You still need to know the fundamentals, as the book doesn’t go super in depth into proportions or perspective, though it does cover them. Overall an excellent book if you want to start stylizing your figures.

Very helpful!
This book is very helpful. My only real critique is that, because the bodies are ones suited to H, it's cringeworthy seeing the cutesy little girl faces on nude, voluptuous bodies. I prefer how other figure books just have featureless faces. However, it's quite useful overall, so I'm not going to mark against the book for that.

A huge help for drawing techniques!
This book is an excellent resource for artists interested in learning how to draw stylized, mature-themed manga characters. It strikes a great balance between artistic fundamentals and genre-specific techniques, making it both educational and inspiring. The anatomy lessons are especially strong—the author does a great job explaining proportions, poses, and expressions in a way that feels natural and easy to follow. There’s also a lot of attention to detail when it comes to body language, composition, and conveying mood, which really helps bring characters to life. What I appreciated most is that the book focuses on skill-building rather than just copying images. It teaches you how to think like an artist, so you can create your own original characters with confidence. The illustrations are high quality, and the step-by-step breakdowns make even complex poses feel manageable. Whether you’re a beginner looking to explore this style or an experienced artist wanting to refine your work, this book is definitely worth picking up.

Excellent
This book is great, it has a TON of information, and is very easy to comprehend. The art style is gorgeous, and the book itself feels quite high-quality. One of the best "how-to manga" books I've ever purchased. Highly recommend.
