The Manga Guide to Physics teaches physics in an innovative way by combining real Japanese-style manga with serious and practical instruction. The book's story revolves around Megumi, a high school tennis star frustrated by physics class and the physics of tennis. Luckily for her, she befriends Ryota, a geeky physics Olympian. After he is persuaded to help Megumi avoid failing physics, Ryota teaches her about Newton's laws of motion, vectors and scalars, and inertia, velocity, and acceleration. As Ryota explains classical mechanics, he uses real-world examples like rollerblading, juggling, slingshots, braking cars, and tennis to show the importance and fun of physics in daily life. By the end of her lessons, Megumi has mastered even the most difficult physics concepts like momentum and impulse, work and the conservation of energy, and the difference between kinetic, potential, and mechanical energy.
