Manga is drawings. Some of them aren't so bad... honestly, it's the storylines that I find annoying. But you CANNOT turn Lief, Barda and Jasmine into Japanese anime peoples. Seriously!! They don't work that way!!

Diana Wynne Jones was English/Welsh. She was totally epically awesome. :-(

Emily Rodda is Australian (cheer for us!) and also totally epically awesome.
