Translated from the English though. But interesting none the less. Did you know also thta almost no Doom guidebooks and manuals have been scanned and this makes one of the only ones I know of? The Doom community is mostly just interested in paying WADS not in its history. I guess they see the game as "alive" not something from the past to be preserved.

A raw manga site just posted a scan of a Japanese language Doom guide book. It is in fact translated from an English guide and even lists the original English author. So the guide isn't that interesting but the fact it even exists is.
