Daniel Pink gave a greatly entertaining and informative lecture at Japan Society, New York, tonight about the incredible spread of manga around the world. Ningin blogger Mia Lerda and I thought we were going to hear more about Mr. Pink’s new book The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You’ll Ever Need, but Mr. Pink gave a larger socio-economic lesson on the power of the dojinshi in Japan’s manga-based economy operating under amoku no ryokai. Sounds complex? Well, it is, or near impossible, in a lawsuit-prone USA. Mia’s writing a complete report to sort it out for you.

In the meantime, The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You’ll Ever Need has got a trailer!

This book sounds interesting.


That actually looks kinda cool. Seems like you can turn almost anything into a manga these days. raspberry


It’s a self help book in manga format, what’s not to like?


This is really creative.


Sounds like my kind of book.


I wish more books were like this.


I can imagine a book like Da Vinci Code in manga format. haha


I think that would be way too long for a manga. haha


They can make multiple volumes.


I wish someone did this sooner. Like when I was in high school. haha
