Kyoto Seika University plans to offer a graduate course to foster comic book creators and researchers in fiscal 2010.
It will be the first academic course on "manga" offered by a graduate school at a Japanese university, the private school said.
Well-known manga creators, including Keiko Takemiya, Shuho Itahashi and Yukio Shinohara, who teach in the university's manga department, will give lectures as part of the graduate course.
About 840 students aiming to become comic book creators or animators are currently enrolled in the school's Faculty of Manga, which was established in 2006.
The university opened the manga department in 2000, the first of its kind in the country।
