Summary

Sword Fighting Styles explores the fascinating intersection of Japanese historical martial arts and their influence on fight choreography in manga. The book examines how real-world sword fighting styles, such as Kenjutsu and Kendo, have been adapted and stylized for dramatic effect in manga, bridging the gap between historical martial practices and modern visual storytelling.

 
Readers will gain insight into the deeper connection between historical realities and fictional narratives, enhancing their appreciation of both historical combat and the creative process behind manga. The book delves into the cultural significance of swordsmanship in Japan, tracing its evolution from battlefield tactics to refined peacetime techniques during the Edo and Meiji periods.

 
By analyzing historical texts, illustrations, and specific manga examples, the book reveals how artists draw inspiration from fundamental principles of sword fighting. It progresses by first introducing basic stances and cuts, then examining specific historical styles, and finally analyzing their transformation in manga fight scenes, highlighting both faithfulness and creative liberties.

    Unlike people with carefree previous lives, I packed away my past. There are some memories labeled 'Look at', and others 'Leave well alone' . . . 
 
 
 
Emily Smith was held in a prison of fear for ten years. When she was four, her father left and a new man was brought into her life. He loved her, he kept telling her so, but the emotional and physical abuse she suffered at his hands were a daily nightmare. Until one day, after he crept into her bedroom, her life became unbearable. 
 
 
 
Emily found she was different in another way as her autism became more noticeable and punishments for her 'abnormal' behavior more severe. Astonishingly, she managed to escape her home of hell, where she was abused right in front of her mother. Emily determinedly gained a university place and emerged triumphant with a new life and family in Ireland, desperate to treat her daughter, so similar to her, to a different life. 
 
 
 
Heartbreakingly true, Silent Child is a testament to Emily's strength as she sheds light on rampant abuse still happening today. Powerful and shocking, sharing her story means she finally has a voice to say: enough. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.
