What is "Nichimandoku"?
We have written about French comics (BD) a few times so we are going to introduce German comics today.
The museum held some events about German comics in the past.
■ German Institute（Goethe-Institut）Introduction to the comic portal page【Sep. 2009】
■ "Do you know about German comics?"【2009/9〜2010/1】
You can learn about the comic industry in Germany on this web page. It has been translated to 10 different languages.

There is a project called "Nichi Man Doku" (Japan Manga Germany) that German artist and Japanese artist upload manga every week for each other so they are like having conversation.
German artist is Dirk Schwieger who has experience of living in Japan and Japanese artist is Matsuoka Waka who has been publishing work on a shojo manga (girls comic) magazine "Margaret". This project is new and it involves audience more. Please read them.
If museum could have events related to this project that would be interesting.
