1.Why Has Manga Flourished? - The Appeal of Manga (1996)

Natsume Fusanosuke separates manga into 3 distinct parts: lines, words, and panels.

Translation Notes
Not using Mr/Ms in place of -san
-Many lines just don't read well when there are too many 'Mr.'s in the translation. May use Mr/Ms when someone is directly getting someone's attention.

Writing names as LastName FirstName
-Sorry for the inconsistency on this channel. Planning to use this ordering moving forward for Japanese names.

The war in every reference to "post-war" is World War II.
