Adult Manga by Sharon Kinsella

This detailed analysis of the adult manga phenomenon describes and analyzes the complex attitudes towards manga in Japan since the 1980s. Topics covered include: the revival of manga censorship and the moral panic surrounding manga otaku; the repression of the amateur manga subculture; and the promotion of certain genres of manga by educational and cultural institutions. The book aims to show how manga's status in Japanese society is intimately linked to changes in the balance of power between artists and editors.
