The sentence follows the typical Japanese Subject-Topic-Object-Verb (SOV) structure, though the subject can be implied. The basic components are: ⚫︎ この漫画 (this manga) - Topic, implied subject. ⚫︎ は - topic marker. ⚫︎ 子どもに限らず大人でも - a complex phrase expressing the scope of enjoyment. ⚫︎ 楽しめます - the verb, "can enjoy".

This is a key N2-level grammar point used to express that something applies to a wider range than initially stated. ⚫︎ Structure: Noun + に限らず+ (Noun/Phrase) + (etc.) ⚫︎ Meaning: "not only...but also...", "without being limited to..." ⚫︎ In our sentence: 子どもに限らず大人でも - "not only children but also adults". ⚫︎ 限らず functions as a conjunction, connecting the two groups. ⚫︎ It implies that the second group (adults) is also included in the action or state described. ⚫︎ Examples: * 彼は英語だけでなく、フランス語にも堪能です。 - "He is proficient not only in English but also in French." * このレストランは平日に限らず、週末も賑わっています。 - "This restaurant is busy not only on weekdays but also on weekends."

でも is a versatile particle, functioning here to emphasize the inclusion of adults. ⚫︎ Function: Connects the second noun phrase with the first, showing an expansion of the scope. ⚫︎ Meaning: "but also," "even," "also." ⚫︎ In our sentence: 大人でも - "even adults" or "adults also". ⚫︎ It adds a nuance of surprise or emphasis that adults also enjoy it. ⚫︎ The basic structure here is: Noun + でも ⚫︎ Examples: * 子供でもできます。 - "Even a child can do it." * 雨でも行きます。 - "Even if it rains, I will go."

This is a potential form of the verb 楽しむ, "to enjoy". This highlights the ability to enjoy something. ⚫︎ Verb: 楽しむ (tanoshimu) - to enjoy. (U-verb) ⚫︎ Potential Form: 楽しめます (tanoshimemasu) - can enjoy. ⚫︎ Conjugation: * Change the final う sound to a え sound. * Add ます at the end to make it polite. * 楽しむ -> 楽しめ+ます -> 楽しめます ⚫︎ Examples: * この映画は誰でも楽しめます。 - "Anyone can enjoy this movie." * ここで泳げます。 - "You can swim here."
