Erotic Comics in Japan
Kaoru Nagayama Patrick Galbraith (Oversetter) Jessica Bauwens-Sugimoto (Oversetter) Chikuma Shobo (Bidragsyter)
"Packed with dense on-the-ground knowledge and experience, this book illustrates how erotic manga and eroticism per se interleaves with manga for children and globally recognized works. A valuable resource for students of postwar sexuality and comics."
- Sharon Kinsella, University of Manchester
"This path-breaking English-language resource on eromanga is eye opening. It not only undermines assumptions about the gender identity of creators and readers, but also exposes that manga is not fully manga without its mediations of sexuality."
- Jaqueline Berndt, Stockholm University
"Nagayama presents a history of the development of erotic manga, and run-down of its many variant niches, sure to prove eye-poppingly illuminating to contemporary scholars."
- Jonathan Clements, author of Anime: A History
Comics and cartoons from Japan, or manga and anime, are an increasingly common feature of visual and popular culture around the world. While it is often observed that these media forms appeal to broad and diverse demographics, including many adults, eroticism continues to unsettle critics and has even triggered legal action in some jurisdictions.
