Trait Pour Trait - Draw and Shut Up! by Bubble www.smartymagazine.com Trait pour Trait - Draw and shut up! by Bubble BD Comics After winning the Young Adult Award at the Angoulême International Comics Festival, Akiko Higashimura is back with two new series! After a 4 year break, Princess Jellyfish had resumed and finished in France last year. Shortly before, Akiko Higashimura had made a surprise comeback and noticed in bookstores with her Snow Tiger published in the Black Lizard. With the publication of this series from the eclectic Hibana (Dorohedoro, Éclat(s) d'âme...), the publisher allowed a leading Japanese author to resume her rights in France. Indeed, more than 20 years after her debut, Akiko Higashimura is one of the most fashionable and prolific authors today. Accustomed to working on several titles in parallel, with various publishers and magazines, the mangaka is at the head of a substantial bibliography. In this autumn of 2020, Akata and Le Lézard noir are releasing two of her most emblematic stories: Trait pour trait - Dessine et taire-toi! and Tokyo Tarareba Girls. In this short series (5 volumes) awarded at the Japan Media Arts Festival and the Manga Prize Taishō, the mangaka looks back on her childhood, late adolescence and early adulthood with her legendary self-mockery. Akiko Hayashi aka Akiko Higashimura delivers her work without filter and with humour. Born in 1975, she grew up in Miyazaki. Her childhood was lulled by carelessness and reading manga. Although not very bright at school, this young girl with an oversized ego already saw her career as a mangaka all mapped out. But at the age of 16, her meeting with Kenzô Hidaka, a drawing teacher like no other, opened her eyes and challenged her certainties. Very demanding and violent, he takes care of her by making her work intensely for 8 years so that she progresses. This teacher has no pity and attacks the high school girls in his classes, and also the young children and old people from the neighbourhood who have come to sign up to discover drawing. The young Akiko is inevitably frightened, but goes to her classes anyway, because she realizes that this apparently gruff man is actually very caring and gives of himself voluntarily for the success of others.

  • Mangá, Gênero, Mulheres
    ELAS FAZEM MANGÁ: DISCUTINDO A IMPORTÂNCIA DAS MULHERES QUADRINISTAS NO MERCADO JAPONÊS RESUMO As mulheres quadrinistas são historicamente invisibilizadas, tratadas como exceção e o mercado de quadrinhos é visto como predominantemente masculino. Esse processo de exclusão foi tão forte que, no Ocidente, incluiu o público consumidor; mulheres e meninas não são percebidas como leitoras de quadrinhos, permanecendo, durante muito tempo, à margem da indústria. A chegada do mangá aos mercados ocidentais fez toda diferença para ajudar a mudar este cenário, pois nesse aspecto, o mercado japonês é uma exceção. No Japão, as mulheres produzem quadrinhos, os chamados de mangás, não são tratadas com exceção e conseguem circular com facilidade em um mercado extremamente segmentado, produzindo tanto material feito exclusivamente para o público feminino, quanto obras que teriam o público masculino como seu alvo prioritário. Em nossa comunicação discutiremos, utilizando a teorias feministas, a importância da representatividade feminina no mercado japonês de mangá, e como isso possibilita que questões de interesse das mulheres – as imposições de papéis de gênero, o primeiro amor, a experiência da maternidade, casamento, aborto, mercado de trabalho, anorexia, entre outros – sejam tratadas dentro de materiais de grande divulgação. Discutiremos, também, o impacto que a chegada dos mangás feitos por mulheres no mercado Ocidental, Norte Americano e Brasileiro, tem auxiliado no empoderamento das meninas e mulheres que desejam fazer quadrinhos no Ocidente.

Lovely translation of one of my favorite mangaBy Melanie PieperI was excited to learn that Princess Jellyfish, or Kuragehime as it's known in Japanese, would be getting a licensed translation. The translation does not disappoint.For those unfamiliar with the story of Princess Jellyfish, the manga tells the story of a jellyfish otaku (or hardcore fan/nerd) who lives in Tokyo in an all-women's apartment building populated entirely by other otaku, who call themselves "amars" or nuns. Their motto is "a life without need for men." All of this changes when a fashionable stranger, Kuranosuke, arrives, and their beloved apartment building is slated for demolition in a community redevelopment project. The clothes-loving Kuranosuke suggests that the amars create a fashion line to make enough money to save their building, but the world of fashion is more complicated than they could imagine.I was a little disappointed in the print quality, it's a bit more mass-market paperback than softcover, with a shiny cover that scratches easily and paper a little cheaper than most josei and seinen I have purchased before (shonen and shoujo manga seem more likely to get this kind of printing).
