Kishotenketsu: The narrative structure from manga and anime

By Aldo Terminiello

Learn how to recognize, understand and use the essential narrative structure of manga and anime. Take your ability to build a story to the next level! "Kishotenketsu is a four-part rhetorical-narrative structure that can be found everywhere in Japanese culture and entertainment, it is even taught in school as a model for constructing speeches and essays. Applied to manga and animation, it significantly differentiates Japanese (and more generally Asian) production from Euro-American narratives. This book is a unique, in-depth analysis of this structure. If you are a writer, you will learn from the Japanese tradition and use its tools for your writing and storytelling. If you are a reader, you will be able to more deeply appreciate the products of a tradition that has slowly conquered not only people from all ages in its home country, but also the whole world."
