''The Manga Bible: From Genesis to Revelation'' is an original English-language manga adaptation of the Bible created by Ajinbayo "Siku" Akinsiku, who was responsible for the concept and the art and the script writer Akin Akinsiku.〔Siku, p. II〕 It was released in July 2007 by Galilee Trade.〔("The Manga Bible – Raw" ) Cross Rhythms, Retrieved on 2008-12-3.〕 They summarize the narrative of the Bible in a 200-page graphic novel including the Old Testament and the New Testament. With their work, they combine the Western and the Japanese culture to tell the Bible in a new way. The book is especially aimed at readers between the ages of 15 to 25. Despite the critique that it is not a manga drawn in the traditional style, it is already one of the bestselling manga in Britain. Church representatives were praising the graphic novel, as opening up the ideas of the Bible to a new target group.〔Banerjee Neela.

== Background ==
The text and quotes in ''The Manga Bible'' are from ''The Holy Bible, Today's New International Version'' that was first published in 2004.〔Siku, p.IV〕 For those people who want to read further in the Bible, the artists have included “Want to know more?” links indicating the references that help to find the passage in the original scripture.〔Siku, p. V〕 Those links are also a good indicator for the reader to know which passages from the original Bible are included in ''The Manga Bible'' and which passages were left out. At the end of the book commentaries about key scenes are included. They give away some of the ideas that inspired Siku and Akin to write ''The Manga Bible'', as well as the influences they had during the process. There are also sketches included that show the development of the art process.
Siku is one of many artists living in the West who has been open to the manga style in his work and he uses it in his own way.〔MacWilliams, p. 4〕 He is influenced by his own cultural background, thereby creating a manga in English based on a book commonly associated with Western culture, namely the Bible.
