The Manga Guide to Relativity - Hideo Nitta

I was searching for a book on Relativity for beginners. Came across this book and after reading it, I am not disappointed, rather I am enlightened.
Its an anime book. Started with relatively easy stuff, Galileo's and Newton's theory and progressed to Einstein's special relativity and then to General relativity wherein he explained spacetime warping. Also explained Max Plank's quantum theory. One thing keeps puzzling me is velocity of light - the fact that its constant. Still hard to visualize all concepts, neverthless this book is a brilliant intro.
