The ‘Manga’ Tarot deck used by the reader in the reading I am documenting was created by Riccardo Minetti and
Anna Lazzarini who is a well-known comic artist in Italy. While the basic foundation of the cards is following the Rider-Waite deck the symbolism and the art are much more individual and portray the eastern style of Manga/Anime. It is a very human-centered deck with most of the cards having people depicted on them. It is also a very female centered deck with most of the cards typically having men on are now women and vice versa.
Anna Lazzarini who was born in Italy in 1969 is now part of the Bonelli staff of 'Legs Weaver' pictured above.
One of the most interesting new additions are in fact the Japanese season glyphs on the cards, drawing in another layer of symbolism from a totally different culture.
Artistically the deck is very subtle and stunning with a painterly feel to it.
