HOWTO: Read Japanese Manga

This HOWTO is intended to help you teach yourself how to read Japanese manga in Japanese. No prior experience is necessary. You just need a desire to learn. If you work a little bit every day, in about a year you will be able to read many Japanese manga on your own. But if that seems too slow, don't worry. We will be learning by reading Mahoraba.

This HOWTO is an ongoing process, so please forgive me if some things aren't finished yet.

Note: People familiar with Tae Kim's Guide To Japanese will be familiar with this layout. Since I will be heavily referencing his fine work, I decided to use a similar layout. In fact, I am using his CSS style sheet.
