Abstract
In recent years, manga and anime have attracted increasing scholarly interest beyond the realm of Japanese studies. This Companion takes a unique approach, committed to exploring both the similarities and differences between these two distinct but interrelated media forms. Firmly based in Japanese sources, this volume offers a lively and accessible introduction, exploring the local contexts of manga and anime production, distribution, and reception in Japan, as well as the global influence and impact of these versatile media. Chapters explore common characteristics such as visuals, voice, serial narrative and characters, whilst also highlighting distinct challenges and histories. The volume provides both a basis for further research in this burgeoning field and a source of inspiration for those new to the topic.
  • Takes a unique approach committed to exploring both similarities and differences between manga and anime, neither conflating them in the name of 'Japanese popular culture' nor separating them in the name of comics and animation respectively
  • Firmly based on Japanese sources and intimate knowledge of the relevant Japanese contexts, yet inclusive regarding non-Japanese conceptualizations and usages of manga, anime and the related media culture
  • Provides an authoritative model for research in the burgeoning research fields of manga studies and anime studies, offering an invaluable resource and source of inspiration for those embarking on theses in this area
