Japanese the Manga Way: An Illustrated Guide to Grammar & Structure (with the alternative Japanese title of , ) is an educational book by Wayne P. Lammers published by Stone Bridge Press designed to teach Japanese through the use of manga.

Its origins began with the canceled journal Mangajin, where Lammers worked as a checker for Vaughan P. Simmons's Mangajin drafts.Japanese the Manga Way, Preface: About This Book Following the end of the Mangajin publications, deals with manga publishers had been negotiated, and Lammers had obtained the rights to use the translation notes, comic panels found in Mangajin for the new book.
