British Museum Exhibits Exclusive Manga

The British Museum yesterday opened its “Manga: Professor Munakata’s British Museum Adventure” exhibit. The exhibit primarily consists of an original “life size” (wall size) manga story by artist Hoshino Yukinobu depicting his globe-trotting folklore & history professor Munakata character visiting the British Museum. The exhibit also offers a selection of sample manga that visitors can read. Hoshino personally visited the museum last month to research and create the original manga story. Hoshino’s “Professor Munakata” manga series has been ongoing since 1995, with a hiatus from mid-1999 to mid-2004. The exhibition will remain open until January 3.
