The purposes of this paper were (1) to review past studies about education and manga (Japanese comics), (2) to grasp recent movements about education and manga, (3) to construct the framework of studies about education and manga through past studies and recent movements.
Firstly, studies about education and manga can be divided into two categories: reading or creating manga. Studies about reading manga dealt with the effects of reading manga, and the effects were negative or positive. Studies on negative effects of reading manga had two types approach: showing their opinion and perceiving situations, while studies on positive effects of reading manga had two contents: knowledge and attitude.
On the other hand, studies about creating manga would be classified into two types: special or general education. Special education is a kind of program which tries to bring up professional manga creators, especially in universities. Meanwhile, general education means challenges to get something thorough the experience of crating manga. Focusing on creating manga has just started, so this is a kind of prospect of future studies. 
I hope this paper will connect to the development of studies about education and manga in the near future.
