This artful and authoritative guide charts manga's rise from historical narrative scrolls to its position as an international creative powerhouse that has changed the way books are read.

Renowned manga historian Helen McCarthy delivers the ultimate resource for anyone curious about the art form's past, present, and future. Spanning from 11th-century illustrated scrolls to today's billion-dollar industry and global fandoms, The Manga Bible explores manga's origins, its narrative and aesthetic evolution, and its wide-reaching influence on visual storytelling around the world.

Organized thematically, the book examines major movements, genres, and milestones--from censorship and subversion in postwar Japan to the rise of science fiction, the role of erotic manga, and the cultural dynamics of gendered readerships. McCarthy also considers manga's deep connections with film, television, fashion, and music, and introduces both globally recognized artists and lesser-known creators whose contributions deserve greater visibility.

Featuring hundreds of images--manga pages, historical prints, vintage covers, and fan ephemera--the volume offers a dynamic visual companion to its nuanced analysis. McCarthy's writing is vivid and incisive, revealing how manga has functioned as both entertainment and a medium for symbolism, politics, and social reflection.

Rooted in scholarship yet written with accessibility and energy, The Manga Bible presents a comprehensive portrait of manga as one of the world's most influential and complex storytelling traditions. It captures the scope of its artistic innovations, the passion of its global communities, and the forces--both underground and mainstream--that continue to shape its enduring appeal.

Flexibility and clean desk space!!!
Bought three of these for my home office. Two for Synology NAS drives and one for a Mac Studio. The size ranges make this the perfect product to get everything off my desk. A little difficult to install with the desk upright so I suggest turning it on its side or over completely. In my case, I have these in sit stand desks which is great.

Decent bracket, Non-beveled screw holes cause complications
The screws that secure the mount to the underside of the desk stick out enough to cause the inner dimensions to change. I had to use the next hole down to increase the size of the bracket to accommodate my device, resulting in a less secure mount than desired. If the holes were beveled so that the screws fit more flush with the mount I'd be able to give it 5 stars. But the inner dimensions are not entirely as advertised due to the screws. Quality is up to standard otherwise, installation is relatively straightforward, price point is fine for a bracket of this size.

Great mount!
Great under desk NAS mount. Adjustable and sturdy, easy to install. Worked well for my Qnap TR-004 four slot DAS. I used 5/64 drill bit for the holes. Since my desk has a rear lip I reused rear stopper bit as a headphone hanger. I bend it slightly to a hook shape.
