OLDER FICTION
Lyga, Barry

Mangaman

(3) YA Illustrated by Colleen Doran. A rip in the fabric of the universe brings Ryoko, a character from a Japanese manga comic, into the real, Western world of this graphic novel, where he attempts to pass as normal in a typical high school. Ryoko is illustrated using manga conventions and style which not only causes him to be the ultimate outsider but makes for humorous metafiction to readers familiar with Japanese comics.
