Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Every manga volume that reaches a bookstore shelf has crossed an ocean long before you turn the first page. Someone has deciphered it line by line, decided how a shout should sound, how to name a character, how much of Japan can cross the language border without getting lost along the way.Manga Without Borders tells that double story: the story of manga itself, born in the Buddhist scrolls of medieval Japan and grown into one of the most influential cultural industries on the planet; and the story of its translation into English, a craft that went from total anonymity to slowly earning a place of its own recognition.
