Climbing manga – The Summit of the Gods

If you like graphic novels or manga and enjoy a good climing yarn then I would recommend you get yourself a copy of The Summit of the Gods. It’s by Yumemakura Baku, who originally wrote it as a novel and Jiro Taniguchi, my favourite manga artist.

The story is well told and the visuals are stunning. Surprisingly, the details of the climbing are also fairly accurate.
