Book Description
A teen manga writer deals with new friends and an old flame at this year’s anime convention in the second volume of this romantic manga series. It's Christie’s second year at the Yatta Anime convention—and the drama continues to heat up. With her new partner-in-crime, a.k.a. artiste extraordinaire Bethany, she is again promoting her comic. Matt is also back in town, but to Christie’s shock, he came with a girlfriend! Now, not only does Christie have to fend off close-minded manga fans, she also has to try to keep her heart clear of Matt. But in the twilight that separates friendship from something more, things often get a little complicated . . . and at a convention anything is possible. Praise for Dramacon, Volume 1 “Smart, witty, and moving. . . . Using every visual manga convention to its fullest, this ripping little tale is strong and expressive enough to reveal real emotional depth.” —Publishers Weekly “A fun read from beginning to end . . . Compelling enough that you’ll be wanting to find out how things turn out in volume 2. It deals with pretty interesting everyday life relationship matters, so if you’re into that kind of thing and enjoy comedy, you’ll definitely find it to your liking.” —IGN.com

Book Description
Outside Japan, the term ’manga’ usually refers to comics originally published in Japan. Yet nowadays many publications labelled ’manga’ are not translations of Japanese works but rather have been wholly conceived and created elsewhere. These comics, although often derided and dismissed as ’fake manga’, represent an important but understudied global cultural phenomenon which, controversially, may even point to a future of ’Japanese’ comics without Japan. This book takes seriously the political economy and cultural production of this so-called ’global manga’ produced throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia and explores the conditions under which it arises and flourishes; what counts as ’manga’ and who gets to decide; the implications of global manga for contemporary economies of cultural and creative labour; the ways in which it is shaped by or mixes with local cultural forms and contexts; and, ultimately, what it means for manga to be ’authentically’ Japanese in the first place. Presenting new empirical research on the production of global manga culture from scholars across the humanities and social sciences, as well as first person pieces and historical overviews written by global manga artists and industry insiders, Global Manga will appeal to scholars of cultural and media studies, Japanese studies, and popular and visual culture.
