Manga Messiah : ウィキペディア英語版 | Manga Bible (series)
is a five-volume manga series based on the Christian Bible created under the direction of the non-profit organization Next, a group formed by people from the manga industry. Though first published in English, the books are originally written in Japanese and each volume is illustrated by a Japanese manga artist.〔 Each book is adapted from the Bible by Hidenori Kumai. The first two books were illustrated by manga artist Kozumi Shinozawa, while the remaining three will be illustrated by a different artist. The first book in the series, ''Manga Messiah'' was published in 2006 and covered the four gospels of the Bible: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. ''Manga Metamorphosis'' (2008) covers the events in Acts and several of Paul's letters. ''Manga Mutiny'' (2008, 2009) begins in Genesis and ends in Exodus. ''Manga Melech'' (2010) picks up where ''Manga Mutiny'' left off and continues into the reign of David. The fifth, and currently final book, ''Manga Messengers'' (2011) addresses events starting with the reign of King Solomon and takes stories from several of the major and minor prophets, and the Book of Esther and concludes with anticipation of a messiah. ==Production== The ''Manga Bible'' series is the creation of Next, a non-profit organization created in 2006 to produce and distribution biblically-based manga series for distribution in a multitude of languages worldwide. Next was formed by Roald Lidal, general director of New Life League Japan, pulling together manga publishing and printing professionals from Japan, and includes Japanese manga artists and other professionals in the manga industry. Lidal created the ''Manga Bible'' series in order to "reach children who might resist traditional Bible translations and never attend a church." When he first announced his vision, it was met with some derision, with other Christians feeling the books would be insulting to the gospel.〔 Lidal was persistent, and continued his vision to produce the five book series, with three covering the Old Testament and two covering the New Testament portions of the Christian Bible.〔 Each book in the series is initially written in Japanese by Christian Japanese artists, then translated to additional languages and published by regional religious publishers.〔 Each language edition is reviewed by members of regional bible societies before publication, to ensure accurate translation.〔
