内容介绍：

Manga is a visual form of narrative storytelling. Its roots are international, but the form as we know it today developed in Japan between the late 19th and early 20th centuries and has recently achieved global reach. Originally confined to comics, prints and graphic novels, manga has expanded to influence animation, fashion, gaming, street art and new media. It is a multi-billion-pound industry, popular with people of all ages in Japan and increasingly all over the world, encompassing hundreds of themes from gender to adventure, in real or imagined worlds. There is a manga for everyone.

For manga fans, this book celebrates the excitement of manga’s cross-cultural appeal and its long history of breaking barriers. For those new to manga, it offers the chance to acquire literacy in what is fast becoming a universal visual grammar for our globalized age.

Arranged into six thematic chapters, with essays by leading scholars, this volume showcases the work of Japan’s most influential mangaka (manga creators) past and present, with printed manga extracts, original drawings, manga magazines, theatre, film, digital technologies and exclusive interviews with artists, editors and publishers.

Published in conjunction with a landmark exhibition at the British Museum, this is manga as Western audiences have never before seen it: diverse yet universally familiar, traditional yet intensely modern, rooted in the 2D printed page but effortlessly leaping out of it.

漫画是一种视觉叙事 storytelling形式。它的根源具有国际性，但我们如今所熟知的这种形式是在19世纪末至20世纪初的日本发展起来的，且近年来已走向全球。最初，漫画仅局限于连环画、版画和图画小说，如今已扩展到对动画、时尚、游戏、街头艺术和新媒体产生影响。这是一个价值数十亿英镑的产业，在日本受到各个年龄段人群的喜爱，在全球范围内也日益流行，涵盖了从性别到冒险等数百个主题，既有现实世界的故事，也有虚构世界的情节。每个人都能找到适合自己的漫画。

对于漫画爱好者而言，这本书颂扬了漫画跨文化的吸引力及其长期以来打破壁垒的历程。对于那些刚接触漫画的人来说，它提供了一个机会去了解这种在全球化时代迅速成为通用视觉语言的事物。

本书分为六个主题章节，收录了顶尖学者的论文，展示了日本最具影响力的漫画家（漫画创作者）——无论是过去的还是现在的——的作品，其中包括印刷漫画节选、原创画作、漫画杂志、戏剧、电影、数字技术，以及对艺术家、编辑和出版商的独家采访。

本书配合大英博物馆的一场里程碑式展览出版，呈现了西方观众前所未见的漫画：既有多样性又具有普遍的熟悉感，既传统又极具现代感，植根于二维印刷页面却又能轻松突破页面的限制。
