www.smartymagazine.com "Kuroko's Basketball" by Tadatoshi Fujimaki by Bubble #Manga Kuroko's Basketball, originally named Kuroko no basuke, is one of the most popular sports mangas in Japan. Long among the TOP 10 of Japanese sales exhibited in the top Oricon, a top named after the Japanese company Oricon providing sales statistics from the entertainment industry including manga sales. Kuroko's Basketball found the right recipe that convinced readers. We find our hero, Kuroko, a player of appearance without talent for basketball, he is neither tall, nor fast, nor enduring, nor skillful. A relatively classic introduction, we present a hero who seems very weak and, finally, turns out to be extremely good. Yes, but here's the trick that made part of his success is the fact that Kuroko is a very strong player but he can't do anything alone! And this is a very interesting concept developed by Tadatoshi Fujimaki, which has made it possible to highlight several main characters, rather than have one or two very strong players and plots around. We manage to get attached to many characters and even prefer some antagonists! We don't say any more, we let you discover for yourself! The author is a fan of Takehiko Inoue's Slam Dunk and you can feel many influences. It adopts a very refined, smooth style with an aesthetic of the characters worked to the fine line. All the essence of the drawing is found in the movements of the characters, from the most extravagant to the simplest basketball movements, with glances, a visual communication between the protagonists for a fluid, harmonious and attractive rendering. "If you admire a person, you can't surpass them. » We're playing overtime Tadatoshi Fujimaki is best known for having created this 30-volume work published starting in 2009 in the Weekly Shōnen Jump. He continued to surf on the popularity of his work by publishing a spin-off, Kuroko's Basket - Extra game in two volumes. This is the continuation of the original series where the best players in the Japanese league gather in the same team to face an American team that is giving them a hard time. The adventures of our blue-haired hero do not stop there because a second spin-off has also been created, Kuroko's Basket Replace PLUS, a manga adaptation of the light novel, Kuroko no Basuke Replace by Hirabayashi Sawako, written by Tadatoshi Fujimaki but this time designed by Ichiro Takahashi, one of his assistants on the original series. The series is still in the process of being published, the 10th volume having been released on June 26, 2019 by Kazé, the French publisher of the 3 series. When we talk about manga, we necessarily come to talk about animes! But what is the anime series Kuroko's Basketball worth? In the same way as the manga, and perhaps even more so, the work stands out for its high visual quality, the fast dribbling scenes are breathtaking! We'll talk about it again when you watch the Kagami vs. Aomine duel! If manga is certainly one of the best sports manga of recent years, anime is perhaps the best sports anime ever made technically and visually. Speed, fluidity, aesthetics, dubbing, soundtrack, everything is there. An animation that convinced the SVOD giant Netflix since the 3 seasons are available on the platform and I strongly recommend them as a complement to the original work to get your own idea.

From the 1970s to the present, the Comic Market (hereafter Comiket) has been a leading venue for manga and anime fan activi- ties in Japan. Over the three days of the convention, more than thirty-seven thousand groups participate, and their dōjinshi (self-published fan fiction) and character goods generate ¥10 billion in sales.1 Contrary to the common stereo- type of anime/manga cult fans—the so-called otaku—who are males in their twenties and thirties, more than 70 percent of the participants in this fan fic- tion market are reported to be women in their twenties and thirties.2 Dōjinshi have created a locus where female fans vigorously explore identities and desires that are usually not expressed openly in public. The overwhelming majority of women’s fan fiction consists of stories that adapt characters from official me- dia to portray male–male homosexual romance and/or erotica.

Changes will be clearly explained in class, but it is the student’s responsibility to stay abreast of the changes. General Information Prof. Jeffrey Dym http://www.csus.edu/faculty/d/dym/ Office: Tahoe 3088 e-mail: [email protected] Office Hours: Mondays 1:30-3:00, Tuesdays & Thursdays 10:30-11:30, and by appointment Catalog Description HIST 146C: A survey of the history of manga (Japanese graphic novels) that will trace the historical antecedents of manga from ancient Japan to today. The course will focus on major artists, genres, and works of manga produced in Japan and translated into English. 3 units. GE Area: C-2 1 Course Description Manga is one of the most important art forms to emerge from Japan. Its importance as a medium of visual culture and storytelling cannot be denied. The aim of this course is to introduce students and to expose students to as much of the history and breadth of manga as possible. The breadth and scope of manga is limitless, as every imaginable genre exists. With over 10,000 manga being published every year (roughly one third of all published material in Japan), there is no way that one course can cover the complete history of manga, but we will cover as much as possible. We will read a number of manga together as a class and discuss them.

The most logical idea Iquick to join in the venture.

  • “Rotten Culture”: from Japan to China MASTER of ARTS
    “Rotten Culture”: from Japan to China by Nishang Li Bachelor of Arts, University of Victoria, 2016 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS In the Department of Pacific and Asian Studies Nishang Li, 2019 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. Thesis: “Rotten Culture” from Japan to China by Nishang Li Bachelor of Arts, University of Victoria, 2016 Supervisory Committee Dr. Michael Bodden, Supervisor Department of Pacific and Asian Studies Dr. Richard King, Department Member Department of Pacific and Asian Studies ii Abstract A new sub-culture, “Rotten Culture (腐文化) ”, evolved from Japanese Boys’ Love (BL) manga, has rapidly spread in China and dramatically influenced many areas of Chinese artistic creation. “Rotten Culture” is an extension of Boys’ Love, which indicates that Boys’ Love elements not only existed in manga, but emerged in anime, movies, TV series, and so on. As a start of an analysis of this phenomenon, this thesis will focus on the core of “Rotten Culture”, Boys’ Love, which exists in Chinese manga and web fiction. The central issues addressed by this thesis are: exploring the circulation of Boys’ Love from Japan to China; examining the aesthetics and themes of some of these works; and analyzing the motivations that explain why such a huge amount of people, both professional and non-professional, have joined in creating Boys’ Love art works. iii

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.
