i have a friend who is a manga artist and he owns every single how to draw manga books. i would say first look for the one you are interested in first and go from there.

I have no idea, but danielmer's advice is pretty good provided you can walk into a book store and see what’s available. Is this possible, or do you live in the sticks?

the thing that i forgot to mention is that they dont sell books for beginners, they only have books titled "How To Draw........." (ex: how to draw pretty girls, how to draw fight scenes, how to draw men, etc. those are actual titles)

I love how the art in those books is always distinctly American XDDD

Honestly, I've never seen a how to draw manga book where the drawing looked like any manga I've ever seen. the same goes for most american manga (the only exception coming to mind being Megatokyo)

i have seen all 63 books and they dont look american at any way. those books had been published with the art styles that was famous in the 90s

I found The complete guide to drawing manga for 12 bucks at Barnes and Noble. It does look sorta American though.

I agree... It does look american. It looks similar to the old school anime styles but not so much.

Edit: Oh and Deus ex can you ask your friend about the details about drawing manga for me? I can already draw, its just I wanna learn about the brushes, ink pots, and cutting pages, and the tools of the trade, etc etc.
