Mia Mirillia

Summary

Useful knowledge about anime and manga

Immerse yourself in the fascinating and often surprising world of anime and manga with "Useless Knowledge about Anime and Manga". This book is far more than just a collection of trivia. It offers an in-depth exploration of these popular Japanese art forms, mixed with amazing anecdotes, unexpected twists and fascinating insights into the culture that has shaped these phenomena.

For example, did you know that some fanart artists who started their careers drawing their favorite characters later became officially involved in the anime or manga industry? Or that there are restaurants and cafés inspired entirely by anime, where you can dine among replicas of giant robots or immerse yourself in the magical universe of "Sailor Moon"?

While some anime and manga earn millions worldwide, there are curious financial implications of flops that can lead to studios closing down or having to find innovative ways to make ends meet. And in the world of fashion, designers such as Louis Vuitton and Gucci have drawn inspiration from anime and manga to create stunning collections.

But it's not all about money and fame. This book sheds light on how fans influence the culture and even the content of anime and manga. From the vibrant world of cosplay, which is not just a hobby but a way of life for many, to fan fictions that push the boundaries of the original and often gain a loyal following. Music from anime also influences global pop culture, with songs from shows like "Neon Genesis Evangelion" becoming international hits.

"Useless Knowledge about Anime and Manga" is not just a book for fans. It's a window into a world that many dismiss as just childish cartoon shows or comics. Through its pages, you will discover that anime and manga have profound cultural, artistic and social implications that extend far beyond Japan. It's a journey of wonder, laughter and realization that you won't want to miss. Whether you are a lifelong otaku or simply curious about the phenomenon, this book is sure to inform, entertain and surprise you.

The Sand Garden by the Sea -...

Debra J Cohen

Once, in a place called Gaza, Jewish families lived among gardens, vineyards, and the peaceful sound of the sea. It was a land filled with beauty and hope. The Jewish people who lived there loved their homes, their schools, and their neighborhoods. 
In a spirit of peace, the Jews gave this land to their Palestinian neighbors, hoping it would be the beginning of friendship. But sadly, instead of peace, the leaders called Hamas destroyed the gardens and vineyards. They built only concrete walls and hidden tunnels meant to bring harm, not kindness. 
Since then, the people of Israel have not found the peace they offered. On October 7, 2023, a terrible attack brought much sorrow and fear. Since that day, the Jewish people have faced more pain and danger, even though their deepest wish is to live safely and peacefully in their homeland. 
This book was written so children and families around the world will know the story: that the Jewish people long for peace, but their neighbors chose hatred instead of friendship. The author hopes that by remembering the past and telling the truth with gentle hearts, we can all dream of a future where peace and kindness will finally grow again-like gardens by the sea. This book reflects a true story that happened in Gaza when the Jews were forced off of their land as part of a peace deal with the Palestinians. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.
