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 Chōjū-jinbutsu-giga to explain each one!

“Giga Town is the Rosetta Stone of Manga iconography; a delightful gift to comics scholars everywhere!”
– Scott McCloud, creator of Understanding Comics
