It has been announced that Kyoto Seika University will begin offering the first Manga Ph.D. to students starting next April. Very exciting.

Maybe I should move to Japan and take this degree. But I can’t really draw, so that would be slightly pointless. The university said that the creation of this degree is due to the internationalization of manga culture. Manga has spread to almost all parts of the world.

It’s so very popular. But even still, it seems so random that a university would start offering a degree in creating manga or studying manga. Though I do think it will be very interesting to take, and I would if only I was more artsy.
