Manga at Urbis

Following on from that last post...a new exhibition has just opened there called 'How Manga Took Over The World', I havn't been yet but it looks pretty interesting, looking at Manga's influence in shaping contemporary culture...from cute Manga to erotic Manga (Over 18s only people!). I became interested in Manga after studying The Designers Republic (see a previous post...), as a few of their designs (especially 'Sissy Doll') are heavily Manga influenced.
