I give it an OK rating (3 out of 5). The book is thick, colorful, and full of different characters and monsters. It's also very cheap and made out of good materials.
However, this is not what I would call authentic manga. The artists are great, don't get me wrong, but the artwork is simply not authentic Japanese comic style. Ever watched The Boondocks? Totally Spies? Though they may look anime (Japanese cartoon) style, it's simply not anime. Same goes with this book.
I don't know about anybody else, but if I want to learn something, I want to learn from the real thing. However, if you just want to look at different styles to make your own, then this book is pretty decent. It's not a real "how to" book, but more of an illustrator with little comments on the sides.Get more detail about The Monster Book of Manga: Draw Like the Experts.
