Literary Work





Here's a short manga I designed about a little's boy's daily playtime, meant to showcase a few different uses of katakana. As you can see, I've heavily utilized katakana for the sake of onomatopoeia, mimicking the sounds as the boy runs about, hits different toys and jumps. I also used katakana for emphasis on the word "strong", as the boy lifts his blocks, and on the word "I" in the boy's dialogue box to emphasize the feeling of toughness and masculinity. Lastly, I used katakana for Superman's name, as it is a foreign word/character name. (Just to be clear, this manga reads left to right, not right to left as usual in manga. Hopefully there was no confusion, sorry about that.)
