A unique publication from before Shogakukan Inc. established Viz Communications in 1987 (the first full-fledged business in the United States by a Japanese Manga publisher), MANGA was an 88-page anthology of 10 short stories in both color and black-and-white: An experiment by Masaichi Mukaide, the publication's editor, this may have been too far ahead of its time, in many aspects.

Features a stunning roster of authors of that time: such as Hiroshi Hirata, Yosuke Tamori, Yukinobu Hoshino, Katsuhiro Otomo, Keizo Miyanishi, Noboru Miyama, Yoji Fukuyama, & Noriyoshi Orai (illustration) and with Hajime Sorayama featured on its cover, Back cover by Hiroshi Hirata, and Chika Oya in charge of coloring the illustration indicated.
