Manga VS D&D: Heaven or Hell?!
According to an article from the Hamilton-Wenham Chronicle, the Hamilton-Wenham Library’s young adult section has been getting a major overhaul thanks to a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The overhaul is supposed to eventually include a mural:
The teens…also brainstormed and voted on a theme for the mural, which ended in a tie. This means the chosen painter will decide which to do; the choices are Dungeons and Dragons or Manga. Each side of the post will have a different character from either comic that represents Earth, air, fire and water…Or the artist could choose to combine the two ideas and create an abstract design that embraces Earth, air, fire and water.
Well, I know what I’D vote for. Although it wouldn’t be too hard to combine the two: have a mage, a dwarf, an elf, and a warrior drawn all manga-style, etc…
By the way, true to Japanese tradition, I think we should give the Hamilton-Wenham Library a nickname that uses one syllable from each word. Who wouldn’t go to a library called “HamHam”? ♥
