This volume will break relatively new critical ground by presenting a number of cross-media analyses of shojo/shojo-ness, which has so far been primarily discussed as a literary and sociological phenomenon. With each chapter focusing on a specific disciplinary area, contributors offer a perspectives on shojo/shojo-ness that engage with cross-media and trans-media influences. Through wide-ranging analyses of manga, anime, film, literature, music, the Takarazuka Revue, the vocal actors in anime, cosplay and fashion; this volume details considerations of shojo in relation to content tourism and otaku studies. This book offers new images and understandings of Japanese shojo which arose in the zero nendai ( two-thousands ) era to create an overall picture of Japanese media culture obtained by using shojo/shojoness as a lens.
