Manga University Presents...My First PC: The Comic Book That Teaches You about the Internet

Manga University, whose award-winning manga have taught young people how to read and write kanji, cook Japanese food, and understand the history of the samurai, goes high-tech in its latest offering. My First PC, geared toward readers ages 7-13, follows the adventures of three classmates who are assigned to plan a school party. To make things easy, the scientist mother of one of the students suggests they use the family's home computer to create invitations and promote the party. Their first challenge: discovering what exactly a computer is, what it can do, and how it works. With a wisecracking robot mascot at their side, the three friends soon discover that computers can be a whole lot of fun. Accompanying the full-page manga panels are standalone pictures and text descriptions of computer parts, what they do, and how they work.
