De lo mejor
Te enseña todo lo básico de manera perfecta, desde las proporciones, la medida y ubicación de las partes de la cara, la anatomía e incluso cabello y forma de las partes del cuerpo. Lo mejor es que se puede aplicar al dibujo realista si también lo practicas. Una verdadera joya si apenas te inicias o ya tienes un nivel intermedio.

Fantastic for beginers or selftought artists
I ordered a bunch of books along with this on Saturday and by Monday I had them. Very impressed with the speed of delivery. When researching for "how to Draw manga" books my main goal was to find a Japanese author since they know the form the best.. I have been drawing anime and manga characters for almost 10 years for fun but always found when I did freehand the faces and body would be shaped weirdly. Within a couple of hours, I have already seen an improvement in my body shapes. The author has organized and written this book very well and covers everything I need to learn. I am pleased I never wasted money on other mediocre books. You will not be disappointed if this is the book your looking for

Great book for beginners and experts!
I got this book for my Grandmother as a birthday gift, but looking through it, it has amazing guides on body autonomy, manga styles, dynamic poses, making diverse characters, and so much more! I might have to borrow it from her after she's used it

One of the Best Resources for Drawing Manga Style Characters
There's one thing that needs to be addressed when it comes to this book, something which left me feeling a bit conflicted on how to rate it. This book is exclusively about Manga Characters. If you want any information on paneling, lettering, backgrounds, screen-tones or anything of that sort -- this book won't help. This book focuses solely on characters and when it comes to that it's one of the best in its field. How to Draw Manga: Basics and Beyond surprised me with its level of detail. Each page is filled to brim with a variety of illustrations covering each part of the body. With pages devoted to individual parts such as the ears, hands, and neck. It includes instructions on both smaller details & common mistakes. The illustrations encompass a variety of styles, all of which are noticeably modern. Compared to classics, such as Tadashi Ozawa's "How to Draw Anime & Game Characters" it really showcases how manga has evolved and grown in modern times. It book even goes along to show several body-types not commonly taught in "How to Manga" books, such as plump, muscular, and "skeletal" bodies. If there is one negative to be had, it is that I fear the book might be a bit overwhelming in its first few illustrations. Like most other books it starts with how to draw the head, but here so much information is presented at once that a beginner artist might become discouraged before seeing how its broken down in the following chapters.
