''Japanese the Manga Way: An Illustrated Guide to Grammar & Structure'' (with the alternative Japanese title of ''Manga de Manabu Nihongo Bunpō'') is an educational book by Wayne P. Lammers published by
Stone Bridge Press designed to teach

manga

Its origins began with the canceled journal ''

The new book also inherited the 4-line translation format from Mangajin.
