Book Description
This sports manga series continues as a German teen invites her quirky soccer team to spend the summer practicing in the Bavarian mountains. Fashion makes practice perfect! Anya’s quest to start the world’s first Gothic-Lolita soccer team has been given the official OK by the school principal! Her teammates are all excited, but when summer vacation starts, it seems that everyone also has very different plans—and they don’t include practicing. Then Delia comes up with the perfect solution: she invites the whole team to a cabin in the Bavarian mountains for a training camp. And so begins a very special summer for the Gothic Sports team . . . Praise for Gothic Sports, Volume 1 “The novel is part sports manga, part shojo school story, with more emphasis placed on relationships and fashion than sports. The characters are well drawn, but the background art is often starkly sparse. A good option for libraries seeking short manga series.”—School Library Journal “Hage . . . appears to have adapted many of the classic tropes of manga, while still maintaining an individual style that shines. The art is wonderful—a minimalist line-style coupled with a prudent use of tone. The wide range of emotions the characters display are wonderfully captured in the art and promises bigger and better things from this artist in the future.” —Otaku News

Global Manga
Author: Casey Brienza
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317127668
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 224
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.
