Synopsis

A guide to manga symbols (manpu)—iconic expressions like sweat drops and popping veins—explained through short manga featuring animals from Japanese scrolls.

Manga symbols—"manpu" in Japanese—are iconic or symbolic expressions used uniquely in manga, such as sweat drops, popping veins, and smoke puffs. Giga Town: A Guide to Manga Iconography! is (probably) Japan's first guide to this manga iconography, collecting and explaining these symbols, with a short manga featuring the frolicking animals of the famous Japanese scroll Choju-jinbutsu-giga to explain each one!
