Let's start Korean history properly!
Highly recommended by current elementary school teachers nationwide
Historica Manga Encyclopedia!

As Korean history has been designated as a required subject for the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) starting in the 2017 school year, Korean history education is becoming increasingly important.
As evidenced by this, the percentage of elementary school students taking the Korean History Proficiency Test is also continuously increasing.
Our people have a vast history spanning approximately five thousand years, from Gojoseon in 2333 BC to the Republic of Korea today.
Therefore, it is not only difficult to grasp the flow of Korean history overnight, but it is also difficult to properly understand Korean history by simply memorizing historical events and outcomes.
Especially children who are first introduced to Korean history often lose interest in it due to difficult historical terms or a large amount of information.
Korean history feels heavy and difficult.
How can I make learning easy and fun?
『Historica Comic Encyclopedia』 is a book that perfectly connects with the social studies curriculum for 5th and 6th graders in elementary school and unfolds the core content of Korean history in an interesting story.
Published with the expertise of Mirae N, an educational publishing company with 70 years of history, and Iseum, a leader in the Korean Wave of educational comics, 『Historica Comics Encyclopedia』 is a Korean history comics encyclopedia that allows children to think about historical situations on their own, empathize with them, and develop historical sensitivity.
It will be an excellent guide that will instill interest in Korean history in children who are encountering it for the first time and help them grasp the overall flow of Korean history.


『Historica Manga Encyclopedia』 This is what makes it different.
?Learn and have fun at the same time!
The story was written jointly by a history teacher and a professional comic story writer.
Enjoy learning and fun at the same time with rich learning content selected by history teachers and interesting stories written by professional story writers.

?Learn the flow of Korean history naturally through lively storytelling!
You can naturally learn the flow of Korean history through storytelling that takes you on a time travel through history following the unique characters that change with each volume, such as a suspicious old man you meet at a museum, a Gaya clay doll pulled from a claw machine, and the moving stone lion statues of Bulguksa Temple.

?Learn Korean history with your eyes!
It effectively conveys a large amount of historical information through visual images.
The "Infographic Page" at the beginning of the book visually represents the learning content in the text, allowing you to grasp the key content of each volume at a glance.
The information tabs included in the text are also rich in photos and drawings of relics and historical sites, helping with visual understanding.

?Korean history that you can think for yourself and empathize with!
Rather than unilaterally pouring information into children, the proper role of history books should be to help children think about and empathize with historical situations on their own.
The "Historica Comic Encyclopedia" contains a variety of opinions and assessments on international issues and figures, such as China's Northeast Project and the Dokdo issue, providing children with the opportunity to think about history and make their own judgments.


?Historical terms, no longer difficult!
Most historical terms are made up of Chinese characters, making it difficult for children to understand their meanings.
The section 'Learning Historical Terms' at the end of the book explains difficult historical terms in an easy-to-understand way for children.

?Learning Korean history through play: Key keywords!
Each volume includes a 'Korean History Initial Consonant Quiz Card' as an appendix.
Unlike the existing cards that you simply read and keep, these cards have a game format called an initial consonant quiz, so you can review the core Korean history keywords you learned in the text once again through the initial consonant quiz game.


Highly recommended by current elementary school teachers nationwide!
『Historica Manga Encyclopedia』 has been highly recommended by current elementary school teachers across the country.
