Women’s Manga in Asia and Beyond: Uniting Different Cultures and Identities (Palgrave Studies in Comics and Graphic Novels)

by Fusami Ogi (Editor), Kazumi Nagaike (Editor), Rebecca Suter (Editor)

Synopsis

This book offers a variety of perspectives on women's manga and the nature, scope, and significance of the glocalization of this uniquely female expression. With a specific focus on women's direct roles in manga creation, this book illustrates how the globalization of manga has united different cultures and identities by focusing networks of women creators and readerships. Taking an Asian regional approach combined with investigations of non-Asian cultures which have felt manga's impact, this book details manga's shift to a global medium, developing, uniting, and involving increasing numbers of participants worldwide. Unveiling Asian diverse identities and showing ways to unite them, this work recognizes the overlaps and unique trends that emerge as a result.
