I'm doing a project on Japanese animation and comic books, and I need information!
Then you may find the following sources of information useful:

'Manga Manga' by Frederick L. Schodt

'Anime: a beginners guide' by Helen McCarthy

'Adult Comics' by Roger Sabin (good section on Japanese comics)

also worth a visit for information are:

Nippon Books in St Pauls, London. Phone 0171 248 4956.

SOAS (School of African and Oriental Studies) has a good library and you should be able to obtain a day pass through your college/university, you can't borrow books but you can use the photocopiers.

Manga Mania comic is also an excellent source of information, back issues and subscriptions available on 0181 646 1031, and of course MV anime titles.
