Spotted whilst out strolling one evening in Singapore - this poster for Manga Drawing classes. The craze for manga continues unabated across South East Asia - actually, it's not a craze anymore as opposed to a full-blown genre that's here to stay. Thai kids, for example, learn Japanese just so they can read manga comics without having to wait for the translated versions. Singapore doesn't have much of a reputation for promoting culture with its strait-laced, draconian approach to law and order, but there is a thriving animation industry within the city-state.
