Recenzii

As someone who works on mostly the western tradition in comics I have long wanted to have an up to date work that provides both a historical overview of manga and deals with its social and cultural impact both in Japan and globally. Suzuki and Stewart have delivered that work. It will be both a useful reference work for comics scholars wishing to engage with manga and a useful text book for classroom teaching that wishes to encompass the global forms of comics.
Japanese manga culture is a vast universe in terms of both its scale and diversity. To the uninitiated, the question of where and how to best enter this universe is often hard to answer. To existing fans of specific artists and works, the question is often how to break through a type of tunnel vision and place one's own interests in some sort of larger context. And as more and more people need to teach, or want to write, about manga, the need for an updated guide becomes essential. Kudos to scholars Shige (CJ) Suzuki and Ronald Stewart for their stellar work with Manga: A Critical Guide.
