Giga Town: A Guide to Manga Iconography is (probably) Japan's first guide to this manga iconography, collecting and explaining these symbols, with a short manga featuring the frolicking animals of the famous Japanese scroll Choju-jinbutsu-giga to explain each one Giga Town: A guide to Manga Iconography includes an informative afterward that teaches the flow of manga reading, a great addition for beginning manga readers
