Professor Munakata's British Museum Adventure.… por Hoshino Yukinobu
Manga scholar and detective Professor Munakata, of dramatic appearance and courteous manner, holes up in London, and all manner of escapades take off, showcasing the Ise of Lewes chessmen, the Sutton Hoo helmet, the Rosetta Stone, London’s modern cityscape, its Victorian heritage, and more. Which itself entertains and showcases the manga genre and stylings to us. An enjoyable and worthy read.

Interesting idea that riffs on 2001 A Space Odyssey. Super computer activates, supercomputer defends itself, Human's must learn to coexist (ok, not quite like Hal, but still...) Interesting that this was adapted into a manga though.
When we were in the British Museum a couple of weeks ago my DH found this manga from Japan (translated) about an adventure in the British Museum. How could we resist?
Professor Munakata is a Japanese professor who has travelled to the British Museum to give a lecture about Japanese culture. While he is there, Stonehenge is stolen. He figures out the clues that are given and helps apprehend the culprits, all while being in London, learning about some of the objects in and history of the British Museum.
The book is a really fun read, made more so by the extra content (an interview with the author and a piece about how the book came to be). The translation is done really well, with only the text being translated. A list in the back helps with the Japanese sounds and the book is read from back to front, right to left. This took a bit of getting used to, but was no problem at all. A really fun mix (for me) of Japanese style and culture and our beloved British Museum and England. Four out of five stars.… (mais)

Excellent, serious-minded Gekiga, with an episodic plot that nevertheless references itself throughout. Think of it as hard-sf short stories with beautiful art.
