I’m a little late on this one (damn that real job that I have) but I ran across an article at Anime World that talked about the latest manga craze in Japan: manga textbooks!

The Japanese government advisory board that authorizes textbooks for school use just released its recommendations for the coming school year. Among the accepted texts for second-year high school students is one that looks like a comic book, but is actually a serious math textbook.

That’s a new one.

The Anime World article has images, translations, and a video as well. I highly encourage you to go check it out.
