Iconoculture: Good news for manga-loving teens: Reading Warcraft can help you pass the SATs. Kaplan Publishing has partnered with TokyoPop on a manga series designed to give kids a leg up on the verbal part of the dreaded test.
Psy-Comm, Von Van Hunter and other full-length graphic novels in the series are studded with highlighted words commonly used in SAT/ACT tests.
Kids have been reading comics to go to the head of the class since the Classics Illustrated of yore. Ditching the dictionary for manga makes test prep more effective as well as a lot more fun.
Need more proof that manga’s gone mainstream? Prepping kids for the SATs is about as all-American as it gets.
Manga makes you smarter. No, really [Iconoculture]
