Mangaman Hc Vol 01 by Barry Lyga and Colleen Doran

(W) Barry Lyga (A/CA) Colleen Doran. Ryoko, a manga character from a manga world, falls through the Rip into the "real" world the western world and tries to survive as the ultimate outsider at a typical American high school. Barry Lyga writes a metafictive masterpiece as manga meets traditional Western comic book style, while Colleen Doran combines manga techniques and conventions with Western comic book storytelling to create a unique seamless--though not Ripless-- comic hybrid that is by turns hilarious and heartbreaking.
