Seishun, Class, and Gender in the Early Works of Nishitani Yoshiko
理事投稿論文 ‘Remon to Sakurambo’ Revisited: Seishun, class, and gender in the early works of Nishitani Yoshiko Motohiro Nakai Tokyo International University Abstract The present paper examines the early works of Nishitani Yoshiko, one of the leading figures of SHOJO MANGA or Japanese girls’ comics in the late 1960s through the early 1970s, focusing on Remon to Sakurambo (1966), arguably one of the masterpieces in the SHOJO MANGA history. Nishitani boldly introduced a literary narrative framework of Bildungsroman into the field and reformed the conventions of the precedent girls’ comics. By doing so, Nishitani broadened the genre into a more realistic and more mature one and paved the way to the later development of the genre itself. Despite such merits and services, however, her works do not seem to be properly appreciated. Contents I. Introduction II. Lemon & Cherry III. Seishun-mono or Bildungsroman IV. Class: Uprising middle class and meritocracy V. Gender: budding feminism and SHINTAISEI or embodiment VI. Conclusion 27 理事投稿論文 I. Introduction In modern Japan after World War II, MANGA or comics, except for satirical cartoons and comic strips on magazines and newspapers, used to be a minor entertainment targeted mainly at children. Up to the late 1960s, they were considered by the so-called decent society to be culturally valueless or even harmful for the mental and intellectual development of the young readers. Those readers were supposed to quit MANGA before they turned adults. Although MANGA started as such a second-class amusement for children, a large number of MANGAKA or comic creators, headed by Tezuka Osamu and his followers including Ishinomori Shoutarou, sophisticated the styles and methods, widened the range of themes and contents, by adopting the skills and techniques of other genres of art such as literature, theater, and films, and have acquired a larger readerships over more than fifty years of time.

Popular Culture
Web Japan http://web-japan.org/ POPULAR CULTURE A wide spectrum of popular tastes Manga With the appearance of writer-illustrator Tezuka Osamu after World War II, so-called “story manga,” or illustrated publications in comic book format, developed in a somewhat unique way in Japan. At one time, the main readers of such publications were people born during the “baby boom” of 1947–1949, but as those readers grew older, many different types of manga came into being. Beginning in the 1960s, manga readership steadily expanded to include everyone from the very young to people in their thirties and forties. As of 2016, manga accounted for 33.8% of the volume of all books and magazines sold in Japan, with their influence being felt in various art forms and the culture at large. Though some story manga are aimed at small children who are just beginning to learn to read, others are geared toward somewhat older boys and/or girls, as well as a general Manga comics readership. There are gag manga, which Manga magazines on sale in a store.
