Every manga style is different, and this one is an appealing and good one. If there was a sequel I'd buy it. I have this book, and it’s helped me so much to improve.

Perhaps you don't have to draw well to teach well, but it certainly helps. I don’t find her style appealing, or particularly “manga”.

I have faith that she's telling me what works without a lot of waffling or suger-coating. As I mentioned above, one of the most useful sections to me as a reader was when she covered ways to make things fresher instead of relying on the same overused elements.

Lea's a much better choice for an author of a book like this than some hack like Christopher Hart, who never tried to draw in a manga-like style in his life before he set out to write a how-to book, but I wonder if there's something that sets her approach to teaching this stuff apart from all the others?
