If you are just starting out, get the 'Starting Out' one. They are really basic, so even if you have never drawn manga before they really do help. The do cater for people who are intermediate aswell, showing some more advanced techniques in later series of the books.

But if you have like, NO drawing experiance, I recommend doing something simpler first - people are one of the hardest things to draw.

It sounds completely boring, but still life is good help, even though it sucks. But it helps you compose and shade things correctly.

But if you wanna just jump straight in with Manga, then this book series is probably the best for the job ^-^
