Zack’s talk was so interesting! From his initial interest in manga and how manga culture differs in Japan, through what it’s like to study in a Japanese university vs. an American one, to a hands-on demo of how manga is drawn, we all learned so much and in just one hour. It was inspiring! Here are some pics from the event:
