Title: The 14th Dalai Lama: A Manga Biography
Author: Tetsu Saiwai
Publisher: Penguin
Year: 2010
224 pages
An easy-to-read and generally engaging history of the 14th Dalai Lama's early life. Some of the action is a little hard to follow, in part because several people aren't drawn sufficiently distinctly. I'm not sure what makes this a manga rather than a graphic biography or even a cartoon history. It doesn't use manga conventions for graphics or layout. Perhaps all cartoons are now generically manga.
