Journey through the world of cute and creepy manga art in this striking colouring book with 45 dark yet strangely adorable manga and anime-influenced scenes. Encounter eerie monsters, broken puppets, enchanted toys, undersea creatures and haunted forests. Some of the scenes are inspired by eastern mythology and Japanese folklore, such as snow spirit Yuki-onna and mischief-bringing toyols. Others originate from western tales, such as selkie 'seal folk' and majestic kelpies.  Also included are beautiful yet disturbing images from the artists' own imaginations, such as terrified dumplings running from a bowl of noodles, a girl being carried away by monstrous balloons, and a zombie enjoying the company of her stuffed bunnies. These gorgeous, intricate manga pieces have been created by a trio of artists, two of whom are based in a studio in Singapore and the other based in England.  Product Information:  • ISBN:  9781912785780 • Author:  Desti, Harry Thornton & Jolene Yeo • Publisher:  Michael O'Mara • Format:  Paperback • Pages:  96 • Dimensions:  28 x 21.6 x 0.9 cm
