AstroBoy Online Forums

I was looking around the Tezuka site and I stumbled upon http://book.tezuka.jp/50_frame.html When I clicked on a cover It opened a pop-up and in the pop-up there is japanese writing. I can see a two orange buttons. When I click the first one I think it tells me that I need win98/ME/XP..since I have 95. Can someone try this out? If you get to download can you tell me?

Thanx.

I have seen this site, and believe it allows the paying user to read manga online.




selects the above manga book's web page

This link on that page http://www.10daysbook.com/db/tezuka_book.a...sp?sku=60001175 seems to suggest that one can download a copy of this manga and use it for 10 days.

Here is the link to the terms of sale page. It does have Japanese text, but English headings.

Thanks for the info. There seems to be Tezuka Manga on Yahoo Comics Japan and you have to pay.

I tried under Window 95 (I think) a while ago and it wouldn't install. It looked like it was trying to create a folder using Japanese characters, but the error message was in Japanese. At least, a mix of weird characters that Windows was unable to interpret properly. And I had the Japanese character set installed.

I never got around to trying it on a newer operating system, but my guess is that it would work. Later versions seem to handle foreign languages better.

I wonder if using manga in conjunction with book is redundant?

Maybe, but I wouldn't say comic book is a tautology.
