Only 200 pages? Sounds like a picture bible that I once had, which did have some stories left out from the storyline of the Bible. It was okay. Don't think I'll be picking it up and I think I'll be sticking to the Bible that is literary.

I'm still waiting for a good rendition of a Bible-based manga also. The reason why these are released is most of the time to present the story in an accessible format, since reading 2000-year-old text documents is sometimes very challenging for young kids. Unfortunately, ever rendition I've seen does the same thing: telling and not showing.

Oh well, I'm starting to make the right connections here in Japan. Maybe in 5-10 years, I'll be able to start publishing a "good" version. Look forward to it with all your might!! Very Happy
