Hot Summer Read: Mangaman
Mangaman, by Barry Lyga
What would happen if a manga character found himself in the world of Western-style comics?
In Mangaman, Ryoko Kiyama, a manga character with big eyes and an amazingly small waistline, falls through a mysterious rift into a North American comic-book drama. Ryoko seems like a freak to the more “realistic” characters, who wonder at first if he’s even alive. But if he can’t get home, he needs to find a way to fit in to this new world—whether it is “real” or not.

I love this so much!! It’s manga incorporated with real world. Since I am a manga-lover I would defiantly pick this up for a read 🙂
I really liked Mangaman. Like you said, the real world/manga crossover is a lot of fun to read. It reminded me a little bit of the “Fables” graphic novels series, all about Fairy tale characters that end up in the real world.
