\"\"<\/a>Manga: food, mineral or comic? Not sure of the answer? You\u2019re missing out on a whole world of possibilities when it comes to literacy and young people. Manga quite simply means \u201ccomics\u201d in Japanese and is a term applied to an international market with a huge influence, especially when it comes to teens. Much of Manga\u2019s growth in popularity is down to the impact of Anime films and series (Japanese animations). If you haven’t already, check out some of the visually stunning Studio Ghibli productions like Howl\u2019s Moving Castle and Spirited Away. Here at Oban High, we’ve been harnessing the popularity of this genre in building a new and thriving club.<\/p>\n

The OHS Manga, Anime and Comics club brings pupils with a wide range of skills together – drawing, writing, reading and discussing all things visual and inspiring. The group is pupil led, well supplied with experts, and is working together to promote their passion and further their skills. We were lucky enough to get Fiona Blakey in to work with us back in February and are looking forward to hopefully teaming up with \u2018Scotland Loves Anime\u2019 next Autumn for their charity festival. With competitions, book-swaps and displays, we are fast building a strong community celebrating art and literacy.<\/p>\n

For more info, or to get involved, you can check us out at http:\/\/obananime.edublogs.org\/ follow us on twitter @ohsmanga or email briana.breuer@obanhigh.argyll-bute.sch.uk<\/p>\n

Plus, in preparation for some booktrailer production fun in conjunction with the Scottish Book Trust, the group has been experimenting with Screenr. You can view the first screencast produced at http:\/\/obananime.edublogs.org\/files\/2012\/03\/screencast-14ew8jy.mp4<\/a><\/p>\n
