Giga Town: The Guide to Manga Iconography (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781772943085)

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!
