One of my coworkers is super into manga and suggested I read Dorohedoro by Q Hayashida, and I found the first volume at a secondhand bookstore, huzzah!

I just finished Vol. 1 and I loved it. Caiman is such an interesting main character and I like his sidekick Nikaido too! This world is rife with crime and evil magic and I can’t wait to read more.

So this is my manga pile. It’s a 3x3 pile that comes up to my mid thigh. I’m 5’5. Do with this info what you will.

I’m cleaning out my bookshelf cause I’ve ordered a new one that’s coming this Tuesday. But this is what a life time of being a book gremlin does to a bitch. And there’s still more on a smaller bookshelf .

Some books have mouse damage and I think one may need to be thrown away due to being irreparable but a majority of them are fine-a lot I forgot I actually HAD. I got a lot of the ones that aren’t really in my reading preference from a second hand place that long went out of buisness, Like Naruto, Shuga Chara, Death Note (we will discuss death note later) Lone wolf and Cub, Tokyo Mew Mew…

I may do an actual count later, just to maybe gauge how many I have and the entire collection’s worth (you know. For insurance I don’t have purposes)

I have a few that are actually complete collections, FMA being one of them. I still need to complete Soul Eater, A Centaur’s Life, Hellsing…

Today is the release of One Peace Books's volume six of Usotoki Rhetoric, and thought I share this photo to celebrate! 🥳🥳🥳

I have deeply loved reading this shoujo that has plenty of good humor and mystery! Highly recommend checking out this manga if you haven't already! 🤩

Academic Books on JP Pop Culture and Beyond

A list of nonfiction books I’ve enjoyed, largely around Japanese comics but also other literature, fandoms and even one book on a fashion I love.

Fanning the Flames: Fans and Consumer Culture in Contemporary Japan edited by William W. Kelly

Exploring different Japanese fandoms such as music, baseball or rakugo this older book from 2004 has one particular essay I still find memorable despite its age. Girls and Women Getting Out of Hand: The Pleasure and Politics of Japan's Amateur Comics Community by translator Rachel Thorn, which she has also put up on her blog.

Manga: 60 Years of Japanese Comics by Paul Gravett

An overview of the history of modern Japanese comics this title was notably banned in libraries in a California county in 2006. All because it chose to not shy away from including a few pages on the genre of eromanga.

One Thousand Years of Manga Paperback by Brigitte Koyama-Richard

Originally published in French this broader look at the artistic development of Japanese sequential art has also been translated to English by Daniel Radzinowicz, and there’s a newer 2022 edition.

Boys Love Manga and Beyond: History, Culture, and Community in Japan edited by Mark McLelland, Kazumi Nagaike, Katsuhiko Suganuma, James Welker

With a wide-raging collection of essays this 2015 book, nominated for an Eisner Award for best Academic/Scholarly work, is still an informative title available in English on the phenomenon of boys love.

Queer Transfigurations: Boys Love Media in Asia edited by James Welker

Edited by a professor who was also a contributor in the previously mentioned Boys Love Manga and Beyond, this 2022 essay collection looks at the expansion of boys love media across Asia.

Manga in America: Transnational Book Publishing and the Domestication of Japanese Comics by Casey Brienza

If one hasn’t been curious already, any reader of Japanese comics in English could use a look at this 2016 book on the processes and people that brings their favourite material across borders.

Passionate Friendship: The Aesthetics of Girl’s Culture in Japan by Deborah M. Shamoon

While shoujo manga is not just romance comics, this is still a lovely book from 2012 that looks at the 20th century development of various girls’ literature in Japan.

Age of Shojo by Hiromi Tsuchiya Dollase

As well this 2019 book covers the creation of girls’ fiction in Japan, from the turn of the century over 80 years and the at times expression of transgressive ideas.

International Perspectives on Shojo and Shojo Manga: The Influence of Girl Culture edited by Masami Toku

Published in 2015 this not to be missed collection of essays, also with interviews of several Japanese comics artists (including as Takemiya Keiko and Hagio Moto) and their work in girls’ comics.

The End of Cool Japan: Ethical, Legal, and Cultural Challenges to Japanese Popular Culture edited by Mark McLelland

Academics from four continents of the Anglophone world, excepting an inclusion from China, begins to reveal just how convoluted and varied the legal, ethical and cultural questions around Japanese comics and animation are both within and outside Japan’s borders in this 2016 collection of writings.

So Pretty / Very Rotten: Comics and Essays on Lolita Fashion and Cute Culture by Jane Mai and An Nguyen

This 2017 book on Lolita fashion is what I recommend on this sometimes misunderstood subculture still found in street fashion to depictions in media.

The History of Hentai Manga: An Expressionist Examination of EroManga by Kimi Rito

Translated to English by Molly Rabbit in 2021, this is a tenderly dense examination of expressions in a (in)famous genre by a Japanese media critic.

Manga in Libraries: A Guide for Teen Librarians by Jillian Rudes

With Japanese comics popularity only increasing a New York librarian has a 2023 book out to help better understand, value, include, advise, and use comics from Japan for readers, especially teens.

CBLDF Presents Manga: Introduction, Challenges, and Best Practices edited by Melinda Beasi

Along with popularity unfortunately comes book challenges and bans. Though this guide from the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is from 2013, it still contains beneficial information for anyone involved with anti-censorship work.

Herkese iyi günler,

Son günlerde herkes zor zamanlar geçiryor, bunun hakkında konuşmayacağım ama herkese sabır diliyorum. Ne diyebilirm ki...

Neyse, çeviri işlerini çok yavaş yapıyorum ve bu yüzden yakında diyemeyeceğim bir zamanda, manganın 40. -OVA'ya denk gelen- bölümünü çevirip atabilirim.

İyi okumalar
