How to Draw Manga

Originally there were no volume numbers on the English

versions, because the original Japanese version did not have
them. Then only volumes 1 - 8 were given numbers. With
continued reprints and more books being released, all
volumes gained a number. The dates given are the first
printing. Several of these books have been discontinued, and
are considered hard to find.
