Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!

A manga about three high school girls who team up to start their own anime production club called Eizouken.

This is a really interesting series for me. You can tell Sumito Oowara has experience in creating animation based on how technically he breaks down the process in this manga. I love how manga sub genres can teach you about different topics. In this case, you get the process of making animation. Oowara’s art even looks like animation cels. The way he draws movement is very reminiscent of animation frames. It gives this book a distinct look and feel as you read it.

I find it hilarious that the recent anime by Masaaki Yuasa happened in part because Yuasa did an ego search.

An English edition is set for release later this year from Dark Horse Comics.
