How about the grumble of an empty stomach, the wail of a police car's siren or the crash of an ocean wave? Japanese manga artists rely heavily upon onomatopoeia — sound-effect words — and this special entry in the best-selling "Kana de Manga/Kanji de Manga" language-learning series from Manga University is jam-packed with illustrated examples of those sounds (and more!) in action. Featuring nearly 100 Japanese onomatopoeia and their English equivalents in categories such as "Humans," "Animals," "Machines" and "Nature."
