[thumb:232:r] Capcom teamed up with publisher Gakken to produce “Secrets of Video Games”, an educational manga aimed at children. The book is a part of Gakken’s “Understanding” manga, a highly acclaimed series books which answers kid’s questions of various topics.
“Secrets of Video Games” will not only introduce video games to children, it will also include information on various game creator professions, the process of creating video games, interacting with video games, expert opinions on social issues such as the effects of video games on the brain, and the competitiveness of the Japanese video game industry from an economic perspective.
So what is the catch? Yes, it’s only available in Japan. But worst, it’s only being distributed to 24,000 elementary schools and 2,700 public libraries across Japan. As fantastic and generous as it is, it makes my chances of picking this up on Yahoo Japan pretty slim.
