More of a demonstration than instructional
By A392QTCOIZLZSM on 2006-08-25
This book shows how various artists created specific artworks, rather than actually teaching you how to create manga yourself. It shows a series of pictures which show the development of about 40 individual artworks, from pencil stage to complete full-color. Next to each picture it says things like "now draw the items in the background" or "now fill in the highlights and shadows", without actually teaching you HOW to do these things.
I think a much better book is "How To Draw Manga Volume 20: Female Characters". This book breaks down how to actually draw attractive female characters.
I'm satisfied!

The "How to Draw Manga" and similar books aren't good refrences for learning how to actually draw things in the first place (the best method is to study life, human models, etc), but they're good for getting a person in the mood to draw and just seeing how other people do things since that's also important in finding your own style. So, I usually treat them like art books instead of guides/textbooks.
That being said, I thought this book was fun and was glad to add it to my library. The insight other artist's have is always fun to read. I kind of wish there were more erotic mangaka presented, aside from the original author. It's also tasteful and I found it a pleasant surprise to see attractive males depicted as well. It would be nice to see it expanded upon in a small series or another artist try their hand at creating one to see how it turns out.
It's the only manga "instructonal" book I've paid for. :)
Not for Beginning Artists
By A32QOEUNKKHP9A on 2007-12-27
The back of the book says "will teach artists of all levels, from beginner to advanced". I'm sure it is a good book for those who know how to draw already, but if you are a beginner it does not provide enough information to do anything other than hopefully imitate what you are being shown as examples.
Most characters have seven steps to create them:
1. Layout
2. Volume
3. Anatomy
4. Line Work
5. Lighting
6. Coloring
7. Finish
Each section has 1 or 2 paragraphs to describe what is being done in the drawing pictured, but now how most of the time.
Pretty Good !!!

Collect of many beautifull drawins in erotics moments, This book is not for begginers, it don't take you step by step to draw this beautis, but show you in many colors some examples of the work of others artist and inspire your imagination to draw this manga, im very satisfied, im looking for somethig similar and i cant find it, because of that, i put five stars to this book.
Drawing experience required
By A24H0B4NEH73HP on 2008-03-10
This book is isn't really that useful since the authors think that you already know how to draw people and have certain experience using photoshop or painter of which ever program they used to color the illustrations. The illustrations are quite good too but these are merely demonstrations.
If you want to draw erotic manga, buy one of those how to draw female manga characters books for the basics of drawing the female figure.
