Mr Monkey sees How Manga Took Over the World at Urbis, 21st March


"There's some sensible advice there, I think"

Mr Monkey with the cover of Find True Love Mr Monkey looking at manga versions of Shakespeare

Mr Monkey saw a wide variety of adverts featuring manga style graphics, manga takes on famous works, and manga self help books. He read about finding true love, and studied manga versions of Shakespeare that allegedly make the Bard easier to understand*. He found Hokusai's Great Wave again, this time about to engulf Prospero.

* Mr Monkey thinks the easiest way to simplify Shakespeare is to change all the words so it's not Shakespeare any more.
