What I call pre-mecha manga is the one love the most — and Doraemon fits squarely into that definition. Thanks for clearing up the Fujiko Fujio pen name — I assumed it was the creator's real name, heh. Now I'd want to explore further into Fujimoto-san's other works.

I remember reading a few of Fujimoto-san's SF (science fiction) manga, and they were great. :-)

Doraemon was definitely a childhood favorite of mine! I think I managed to retain more of the Chinese characters I learned at school than I otherwise would have because our school library had several volumes of the manga translated into Chinese.

Yes! Comics and GN are such great mediums to help all of us learn in the most fun way! :-D
