Description

In recent years, manga and anime have attracted increasing scholarly interest beyond the realm of Japanese studies. This Companion takes a unique approach, committed to exploring both the similarities and differences between these two distinct but interrelated media forms. Firmly based in Japanese sources, this volume offers a lively and accessible introduction, exploring the local contexts of manga and anime production, distribution, and reception in Japan, as well as the global influence and impact of these versatile media. Chapters explore common characteristics such as visuals, voice, serial narrative and characters, whilst also highlighting distinct challenges and histories. The volume provides both a basis for further research in this burgeoning field and a source of inspiration for those new to the topic.

Author Biography:

Jaqueline Berndt is Professor in Japanese culture at Stockholm University. She previously taught Comics Theory at Kyoto Seika University, Japan. Her main academic work is in manga studies and anime research, approached from the perspective of media aesthetics. She has also directed exhibitions on manga in art-historical contexts.
