berserk the golden age arc 2 misfit of demon king academy dub cast
Ninja High School was drawn and written by Ben Dunn, an admitted anime and manga addict, and spoofs and/or parodies anything and everything in the genres that it can get away with in its early issues. Later, it settles down into an actual overarching plot, but the parody elements (as well as the art style) remain woven integrally in. Gold Digger, another Antarctic Press title by Fred Perry, has an art style heavily influenced by anime/manga, but the artist himself tends to keep the proportions within the art consistent and avoids the common visual gags for the most part. Also, while references creep in from anime that Fred's seen, they're kept company by an equal number of pop culture references from the Western world as well. One early example of American graphic novel influenced by manga is Wendy and Richard Pini's ElfQuest. The Door Stopper It Takes a Wizard is drawn in manga-style despite not being a "Manga" in definition. (It's even placed in the manga section. ) Radiant could easily be mistaken for a Japanese series — it even goes on the Manga namespace on This Very Wiki. Valente notes his influence from Akira Toriyama and Yusuke Murata's works, and it definitely shows in his art. He even refers to the series as a Shōnen manga by name. It's also one of the few mangaesque series to fully make the jump to its country of inspiration; Murata endorsed the series when it was translated into Japanese, and Lerche spearheaded an anime adaptation of the series airing in late 2018.
