Manga for Businesspeople

In Japan, manga are not just for children. Books combining text and illustrations have been popular with Japanese readers of all ages for centuries. Today, one-third of all books published in Japan are manga.

Manga offer several advantages over traditional text-only works. Our brains process text up to twice as quickly if it is combined with pictures. Retention is also improved. Narratives about humans experiencing sadness, anger, and joy connect to our instinctive capacity for empathy, conveying key information more vividly and memorably.

JMAM applies these insights to books specifically for businesspeople. Our manga make it easier to quickly grasp advanced concepts in business and industry, from management theory to manufacturing efficiency.

Japanese Culture

How much do you know about Japanese culture? From tea ceremony and haiku to anime and karaoke, aspects of Japanese culture have been embraced around the world. But it also has subtler depths that are not as widely known.

Concepts like ikigai (finding purpose in life), omotenashi (gracious and effortless hospitality) and sanpo yoshi (business that is good for the buyer, the seller, and society at large) offer a uniquely Japanese take on universal human concerns like striving to do good and treat others well. Even Japan’s business world is guided by a philosophy of building prosperity by respecting the public.

JMAM’s books on Japanese culture explain traditional values, customs, and approaches to living in a way that helps busy modern readers apply these ideas in their own lives, both at home and in the office.
