Title: Terrible.
Review: Doggeral trash at best. A horrible 'guide' that will influence future hacks to create their own trashy lazy work at worst. This book promises originality in its title but then goes on to show a bunch of amateurish imitative artwork as its examples. That the author trashes other 'how to draw manga' books is laughable when this book is such poor quality. I suspect that the people giving positive reviews of this waste of money are more swayed by the pretentious and misguided text in it than by the author's actual teaching or drawing talent. Want manga in your own unique style? You are better off studying traditional drawing technique without manga influence and then evolving into your own style as a consequence of being a strong artist regardless of whether you draw manga style or not. You will learn more about drawing better quality Manga through the teachings of George Bridgeman or Robert Beverly Hale than you will trusting an over-opinionated hack artist who trashes other mediocre talent.
