Publisher Comments:

A raised eyebrow, a curled lip, a wink of the eye. All it takes is a single clever stroke of the G-pen to instantly change a manga character's mood from one extreme to the other: glad to sad, sassy to shy, angry to embarrassed. Illustrator Saori Takarai presents original pencil sketches alongside her finished, full-color drawings, to show just how the transformations take place. In addition, each of the facial expressions is labeled with the Japanese word for the mood being depicted, along with common Japanese conversational phrases and simple translations, making this delightful book a great gift for aspiring artists, language enthusiasts and manga fans alike!

I got this for my daughter for Christmas when she was 10 and was just entering the manga/anime phase. She loved it and 2 years later, it is still a favorite book. She actually uses it to learn Japanese phrases as well as for as inspiration for her drawings. This book is a great gift for any young fan of Japanese manga or anything "kawaii".
