Japanese Popular Culture in the Classroom | Japan Digest

  „For example, Japan's Foreign Ministry published a manga to defend its foreign aid program, and the Japanese economy was also simplified and put into manga form by Japan's leading business newspaper Nihon Keizai Shimbun. This comic, "Nihon Keizai Nyuumon" by Ishinomori Shotaro, has an English version, "Japan, Inc.: An Introduction to Japanese Economics" (see References). According to Kazuyuki Adachi of the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, "The [economy] was a topic that people wanted to know about, but there was no reference book that anyone could just pick up and understand," so they decided to create a graphic novel.“
