Frederik L. Schodt received a 2017 Japan Foundation Award in 2017 for his work in bringing Osamu Tezuka and other manga artists to the world! Since first published in 1983, Manga! Manga! : The World of Japanese Comics has been the book to read for all those interested in Japanese comics. It is virtually the "bible" from which all studies and appreciation of manga begins. More than that, given the influence of Japanese manga on animation and on American-produced comics as well, Manga! Manga! provides the background against which these other arts can be understood. The book includes 96 pages from Osamu Tezuka's Phoenix, Reiji Matsumoto's Ghost Warrior, Riyoko Ikeda's The Rose of Versailles, and Keiji Nakazawa's Barefoot Gen.
"Phenomenal book…an exceptionally literate writer."—Cat Yronwode "... a thoroughgoing exposition of the manga genre in text and pictures." — The New Yorker "An excellent historical guide to manga, as well as a fine Introduction to various artists and major thematic concerns." — Variety "Buy this book. Read it." — The Comics Buyer's Guide

I bought this book while I'm writing my dissertation about manga and I wanted to start from the basic. Schodt's work is the first of a long series of book about that matter. What I found interesting was the perspective the author used for this book. He knew he was going to present something extremely new to a public which didn't know absolutely nothing about Japanese comics and had a completely different idea of comics. I don't agree with the Schodt only towards the end when he writes that it will be almost impossible to translate lots of Japanese comics into other languages because the cultural differences are too wide. I've been reading comics for 16 years now, which is more that half of my age, and I've read about anything. Japanese mythology or playing Go or Japanese history. And all of these was translated into my language. In addition, Schodt said that according to him the tropes of manga where difficult to understand for an American audience because they were not used to them. By tropes I mean, for example, the little drop that appear on the face of a manga character when something doesn't go as planned or the fact that people got a nosebleed when they are aroused. Schodt's comment was really American-centered because I'm not American and still I find it more difficult to read American comics rather than manga. I probably miss some of the tropes that are common for US readers and the boards are something built in a weird way and I have to think which way to read and that doesn't happen when I read a manga. To conclude, I give this book four stars only because it's an outdated book. The reader should read something newer after this one but as introduction into the world of manga is perfect.
This is an absolutely wonderful work and is considered, as earlier commentators expressed, the bible of manga studies. As others have said, it's an impossible act to follow, for many reasons. Schodt's credibility in the field, which includes his friendship with Tezuka, his high level Japanese language skills, the award given to him by the Japanese government, his wonderfully accessible writing style for all readers, his fascinating ability to subtly project his own enthusiasm for the material, all combine to make this a "must-have" book for anyone interested in manga. Fred Schodt actually knows or knew many of the manga luminaries that he writes about. What is even more spectacular is that his Dreamland Japan climbs up to the same lofty level of achievement, exploring the more obscure, but equally fascinating, sides of manga. Anyone with interest in manga should read both works to begin exploring the field of manga studies that Fred Schodt pioneered (his other books are excellent too!). One of the many wonderful things about his writing is, despite it being scholarly and having the utmost credibility, is how entertaining it is. One of the book's many advantageous qualities is Fred's desire to point to larger issues through his explorations.
The book gives you a pretty good look on how manga developed over the years, and delivers what it promises in the beginning: help you understand how the manga world works. All in all is an amazing book if you want to know more about how manga turned out so differently from american comics. For a real comparison between american comics and manga thou, I'd recommend Paul Gravett's book which does it beautifully. Schodt's work was first published in 1983, so numbers are outdated, and you can't really use it as standards for present manga market, but it gives you great look on how the market itself looked like before the decline in the 1990s. Like I said before, if you're looking to find out how manga came to be, some about Osamu Tezuka and the differences between shonen and shoujo manga, this book is perfect.
I lost my hardback copy, but was so happy to even find a trade paperback of this material.
The book itself is a landmark publication and essential guide to the world of manga for Western readers.
Good use for research project on the art

Un imprescindible
Para mí, es una obra imprescindible si quieres introducirte en el mundo del manga y aprender su historia. Quizás pueda estar algo desfasado con el paso de los años, pero sin duda es una obra muy didáctica si quieres aprender de los orígenes del manga.

Le livre pionnier du Manga
Frederik Schodt fut le premier spécialiste de la bande déssinée niponne, en occident, en 1983, il signe, Manga, Manga !, un panorama, instructif, qui reste un référence sur le neuvième art nippon, certes le livre n'est pas à jours sur les nouveaux auteurs, mais il n'en demeure pas moins un référence, indispensable, à tous les amateurs de manga. A noter que l'ouvrage fut préfacé par Osamu Tezuka, le"Dieu du Manga", il reste un ouvrage de base, indispensable, très richement documenté. Souvent imité, jamais égalé... Seul regret, aucun éditeur français, n'en a encore fait la traduction.

Arqueología manga
Una gran aportación al panorama de la investigación sobre el cómic japonés. Una pena que, a día de hoy, haya quedado un poco desfasado. No obstante, siempre es bueno tener presentes las raíces y comprobar por uno mismo cómo han ido evolucionando las connotaciones y los pensamientos de la sociedad no japonesa para con el manga.
