Sharp - The Graphic Novel

[Rich Johnston]

As Sharp Electronics celebrates its hundredth year, what better way for the Japanese company to document its rise from a manufacturer of mechanical pencils to consumer technology, than via a graphic novel? Drawn with a pencil, and made available digitally.

And is it one that could actually tug the heart strings? Very possibly. Seriously, grab a tissue for this one...

Very entertaining comic.
Inspiring.

I had a Sharp TV that lasted me 17 years!
When it finally stopped working and I had to junk it - I kind of felt guilty - like I was abandoning an old friend.

Suddenly, I feel like Homer Simpson.

I said they were crap, not that they didnt last.

Really, more than we need to know about your reading habits.

I have not seen this kind of corporate short manga since years ago. The Japanese people is so well educated to obey to the corporates that they also lear the economic rules in the mangas.
I remember a monthly manga magazine which was full of these kind of stories.
They were encouraged there employees to have a drink at evening in their group, but not to be drunk because it was a very bad reputation for the corporate.
The best I have read (in Japanese of course!), was a story on how to be the first employee of the month, the best one. The Dallas' JR Ewing was a real tender one vs a simple Japanese top employee!!!

Yeah, like I watched a crap TV for 17 years.

Missing the point.
