Japanese Mongo Manga Are Japanese Graphic Novels, Or Long Comic Books Name ___________________ Date _____ Class _____ History and Cultures of East Asia and Southeast Asia DIHerentlated Instruction Japanese Mongo Manga are Japanese graphic novels, or long comic books. The word manga can be translated as "humorous or whimsical pictures." With roots in medieval Japanese art, manga has developed into an important part of Japanese culture. Manga are read by Japanese people of all ages, and manga-ka (artists and writers of manga) are respected as serious artists. Many manga stories run for several volumes and thousands of pages. Manga Style Manga has developed a unique style. "Manga style" includes dialogue bubbles, speed lines (small lines that show where a character is moving), flashbacks, and visual symbols (such as sweat droplets to show nervousness). Characters are usually depicted with large eyes and small mouths as well as unnatural hair color. They also frequently show overexaggerated emotions. For example, a manga character does not just cry-the tears pour out of her eyes like water from a faucet. An angry character might have red cheeks and steam spouting from his or her ears. Types of Manga Because manga is so popular in Japan, several separate genres, or types, have emerged to attract specific readers. Shan en is manga for teenage boys. It is usually funny and full of action. ShOjo, manga for teenage girls, is often lighthearted and romantic. Seinen (manga for men) and josei (manga for women) frequently have more mature themes. Even small children have their own manga called kodomo. Manga Classics Famous manga titles include Akira, a future world of social isolation, power, and corruption; and Ghost in the Shell, a science-fiction epic. Other manga classics are Glass Mask, a saga about the adventures of a young actress, and Knights of the Zodiac, a story about a group of five mystical warriors. Directions: On a separate sheet of paper, answer the following questions. 1. Describing Describe at least two characteristics of the manga style. 2. Categorizing The information above mentions four classic manga titles. Based on their descriptions, categorize each by genre. 65 Teaching Strategies for Different Learning Styles ' -. - ~ .,,- The following activities are ways the basic lesson can be modified to accommodate students' different learning styles.

    Conjoined by Hand: Aesthetic Materiality in Kouno Fumiyo’s Manga In This Corner of the World Jaqueline Berndt Mechademia, Volume 12, Number 2, Spring 2020, pp. 83-101 (Article) Published by University of Minnesota Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/761079 [ Access provided at 7 Aug 2020 11:37 GMT from Stockholms universitet ] Conjoined by Hand Aesthetic Materiality in Kouno Fumiyo’s Manga In This Corner of the World JAQUELINE BERNDT In recent years, content- driven, or representational, readings of anime and manga have been increasingly countered by mediatic approaches, but the main focus has been mainly on the materiality of platforms and institutions rather than that of signifiers and artifacts that afford certain mediations in the first place. Kouno Fumiyo’s In This Corner of the World (Kono sekai no kata- sumi ni) provides an excellent case to explore manga’s aesthetic materiality, last but not least because of its congenial adaptation to the animated movie of the same name directed by Katabuchi Sunao (Studio MAPPA, 2016).1 This movie attests to what John Guillory has pointed out in a different context, namely, that “[r]emediation makes the medium as such visible.”2 Conse- quently, it is used below as a foil to highlight how Kouno’s manga conjoins different materialities in a medium- specific way resting on the drawn line, print on paper, and the serial format of the narrative. This article pursues manga mediality from the angle of materiality to ap- proach forms as aesthetic affordances without reiterating a decontextualized formalism modeled on modernist notions of authorship and autonomous art.

  • The Missing Link of Shōjo Manga History : the Changes in 60S Shōjo Manga As Seen Through the Magazine Shūkan Margaret
    京都精華大学紀要 第四十九号 ― 5 ― The missing link of shōjo manga history : the changes in 60s shōjo manga as seen through the magazine Shūkan Margaret Kálovics Dalma Introduction The worldwide success of manga can be partly attributed to the fact that Japanese comics provide a wide range of reading materials for girls. However even though shōjo manga existed for as long as shōnen manga, there are periods in the history of the genre we hardly know anything about. Shōjo manga research tends to focus on gender and due to that centers mainly on the 1970s and the manga of the Magnifi cent 49ers (Hana no 24-nen gumi ), a group of female artists born around 1949 including Hagio Moto, Ōshima Yumiko, Takemiya Keiko and Yamagishi Ryōko, who became famous for their literary style and addressing gender and sexuality in their works.1 This approach has resulted in many works being left out from the scope of research, be they from preceding periods or contemporary mainstream titles. The lack of detailed analysis of the 20 years of postwar shōjo manga up till the 70s can lead one to believe the 49ers singlehandedly created the genre out of nothing, when in reality by the time they appeared shōjo manga was a diverse and successful genre which sold over a million of its most popular magazines.2 In an attempt at shōjo manga historiography the fi rst part of this paper analyzes the discourse surrounding the genre, and fi nds reasons in publication history for the obscuring of̶among others̶ the 1960s of shōjo manga. The second part of the essay contrasts assumptions about 60s shōjo manga with actual facts based on fi ndings from an ongoing project, in which I examined so far over 250 issues of the magazine Shūkan Margaret published between 1963 and 1970, from the collection of the Kyoto International Manga Museum and the National Diet Library.

Manga in Academic Library Collections: Definitions, Strategies, and Bibliography for Collecting Japanese Comics. A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S. degree. November 2005. 60 pages. Advisor: David W. Carr. My research argues that manga, or Japanese comics, is a primary cultural artifact of modern Japan, and as such, must be a part of academic-library collections serving researchers of modern Japan. The primary goal of this research is to create a collection development resource for librarians by: introducing the format and history of manga, focusing on the diversification of manga that occurred in postwar (post World-War-II) Japan; articulating manga collection development strategies of active Japanese studies bibliographers in the United States; and providing a bibliography of secondary materials useful for academic librarians. I identify two important and complementary collection development strategies—a comprehensive approach aimed at creating a repository for current and future research needs, and a focused approach concerned with the needs of the library’s immediate research community. Both are committed to creating research- oriented collections, and provide models for other academic librarians collecting manga.

  • Coercion As a Political Tool in Queer Manga
    Sharalyn Orbaugh Compulsorily Queer: Coercion as a Political Tool in Queer Manga Keywords: consent, queer theory, shōjo manga, gender-queer Introduction Students in Canada claim that the diverse types of queerness found in manga — an attribute they associate with manga’s Japanese origins — constitute one of the medium’s most appealing characteristics. Gender- queer, sex-queer, sexuality-queer, and ontologically queer characters appear in manga of all genres, marKeted toward a variety of audiences. While the plasticity of imagery and of normative social boundaries in many manga stories seems to have contributed to the medium’s popular- ity outside of Japan, an aspect of queer manga rarely noticed by my North American students is the coercion or compulsion at the heart of many queer stories. This has been a subject of some scholarly discussion with regard to the prevalence of “non-con” (non-consensual) sex in boys’ love (BL) and yaoi manga, but coercion is also a fundamental narrative device in exploring queer genders, sexes, and ontologies as well. Here we explore the following questions: what is the effect of using coercion or external compulsion as a primary tool for exploring diversity in non-BL or yaoi manga? How does this contrast with political discourses of volun- tary experimentation or intrinsic, in-born identities? How are stories that use coercion as a narrative tool read by North American students who have been intensively educated in the politics of consent? How do stories of coercion and non-consensuality contribute to the global mass media image of Japanese popular culture as perverse? But the main question that motivates my on-going exploration of this topic is: what kind of work do these coercively queer manga do, and for whom? Students in Canada Reading Queer Manga Every year I teach a large-enrollment (typically 130-160 students) course on manga and anime at the University of British Columbia.
