[Tomorrow] “Why Manga Is Better Than Textbooks”

At tomorrow's Learning of Tomorrow Online Symposium, Yohei Sadojima will give a talk titled “Why Manga Is Better Than Textbooks”!

After working on hit titles such as *Dragon Zakura*, *Hataraki Man*, and *Space Brothers* at Kodansha, Yohei Sadojima founded Cork Co., Ltd., an agency for creators. Will “manga”—a cultural phenomenon and form of content that Japan can be proud of on the world stage—become an indispensable part of education in the future?

Mr. Sadojima will speak about manga as educational content and the future of education. We hope you’ll join us.

I'm really looking forward to it, too~~~!!!
