Not too bad at all

I bought this for my wife for our anniversary, so far she's seemed to like it. The book is full of examples of sexy scenes built from the ground up, from your sketch to a finished, coloured piece. Along the way there is some help and insight, and some interesting tidbits about Japanese Manga, in this case, the erotic kind of manga. If you're looking for detailed instructions on drawing men or womens' 'tidbits', you're better off looking through an anatomy book, or google, there isn't really anything on *that* anatomy. Like the cover says, it's 'erotic manga' not something more explicit. If you are a fan of the 'how to draw manga' books, then I recommend it. As a growing artist you may find lots of helpful hints, as an more experienced artist, you may just find some idea fodder for your next project.

Great Body Study

This book is not for minors due to the naked breasts but it is a wonderful study in the female body with many wonderful pictures to draw.

Pretty Good !!!

Collect of many beautifull drawins in erotics moments, This book is not for begginers, it don't take you step by step to draw this beautis, but show you in many colors some examples of the work of others artist and inspire your imagination to draw this manga, im very satisfied, im looking for somethig similar and i cant find it, because of that, i put five stars to this book.

I'm satisfied!

The "How to Draw Manga" and similar books aren't good refrences for learning how to actually draw things in the first place (the best method is to study life, human models, etc), but they're good for getting a person in the mood to draw and just seeing how other people do things since that's also important in finding your own style. So, I usually treat them like art books instead of guides/textbooks. That being said, I thought this book was fun and was glad to add it to my library. The insight other artist's have is always fun to read. I kind of wish there were more erotic mangaka presented, aside from the original author. It's also tasteful and I found it a pleasant surprise to see attractive males depicted as well. It would be nice to see it expanded upon in a small series or another artist try their hand at creating one to see how it turns out. It's the only manga "instructonal" book I've paid for. :)
