You can't even write racist abuse in excrement on somebody's car without the politically correct brigade jumping down your throat!OP: Are you looking for reference books or simply books that use Japan as a setting that you can get ideas from. We're trying to find the place where you'll get the most helpful responses.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.Thank you mr. moderator. I´m searching books about the history of Japan, to widen my paltry knowledge about it (which mostly comes from anime series as rurouni kenshin). I think it's more appropiate to say I'm looking for a reference book.
Suffer not the witch to live.Ok, I've modified the thread title to make that clear. For now we'll leave it here.

I don't want to start a new topic all necessarly, so I post it here.
I would need some book about Greek/Roman (but mostly Greek) for my OEL manga. It features a lot of elements from Greek mithology (similarly as Eva did with Judeochristian and Rah Xephon did with Mayan), starting with using the names of Gods/Titans from the source for the heroes (eg. the title character is Prometheus). And I want to do my research well, I'm still writing it's background (for a year at least), but I didn't started into it deeply because the lack of knowledge, and my art skills also need some improvement.
Dear tropers:
I'm interested in Japan' culture and I want to know more about it's history. Could any of you recommend me a good book in english on the subject? I'd appreciate a relatively simple book, for I am not a history expert or academic, only an amateur who wants to become familiar with the basics of Japan's history.
Thank you very much.
