When this happens, you may become somewhat worried, but if you keep drawing, you’ll be able to break through it. Hirohiko Araki is the author of one of the longest-running and most beloved manga of all time, the epic fan favorite JoJos Bizarre Adventure. It’s best to look at Hirohiko Araki’s Manga in Theory and Practice as an anecdotal pep talk given by a coach whose team of Jojos have had a twenty-five year run.

Aún explicando la necesidad de los cuatro elementos regidores de toda narración —personajes, historia, escenario y tema; en ese estricto orden de importancia— Araki siempre acaba poniendo algo de sí mismo entre líneas. However, the lessons, tips, and examples Hirohiko Araki shares can be applied to a lot of story-telling mediums. Likewise, realism is balanced in every work, even the most fantastical, and becomes - in a way - another signifier. But the tone is a bit too categorical, as if Arawi could not conceive ways of publishing a successful shonen manga other than the one he has experienced. Reading this book without reading Araki's manga, would be like reading Truffaut's interviews with Alfred Hitchcock without seeing any Hitchcock films.

But even knowing that, I couldn’t shake my desire to remain true to the things that I personally enjoyed, and that I thought were good, and to not hew to what was currently in vogue.

a little lighter on the theory than i had hoped, but it was an illuminating look into the lives of mangaka, who tend to be a pretty secretive bunch. If you are looking for a step by step anatomization of a mangaka’s secret formula, you might be disappointed, but if you’re willing to let yourself be pumped up by Araki’s chalk talk, in which he not only marks the goalposts for struggling creators, but details his own fumbles and touchdowns, then you will find Manga in Theory and Practice immensely and intensely valuable. Though I am not part of this audience, I did find these points interesting and a neat insight when it comes to the creator of JoJo. Anyhow, my favourite part of the book - or maybe, the useful one to me - is the chapter about drawing.You can gleam a lot from the stories of both his successes and failures, as well as well as what personal elements they put in their story. Learn how to create manga from Hirohiko Araki--creator of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and a master of the medium! It shouldn't be outwardly apparent all the time, sometimes illusionary, but they are the words that glue together intrigue. Me encantó, creo que si te interesa iniciar en la creación de manga, o si quieres conocer un poco más del proceso creativo de Araki, este libro no puede faltar en tu biblioteca personal.
