Good, but a little Short
I was actually quite surprised by the book. Any fan of anime and manga would enjoy this book. Through the interviews he conducts with such giants as Kodansha, Carey tries to find what is hidden in plain sight in anime and manga. A great read!

milk toast about Japan
I'm not sure what I was expecting when I bought this book but I was expecting more than it delivered. Having just returned from my first visit to Japan, I eagerly began looking for sources that describe some of the cultural phenemona that I had just experienced. This book turned out to be a dry series of interviews (not especially insightful) and anecdotes about WWII (interesting, but unexpected), almost an author's justification for taking a vacation with his son. The text contains too little about manga and anime, too little about the youth of Japan.
