Description

A groundbreaking exploration of anime, manga, and Japanese popular culture. After decades in which American popular culture dominated global media and markets, Japanese popular culture-primarily manga and anime, but also toys, card and video games, and fashion-has exploded into a worldwide phenomenon. From Pokemon and the Power Rangers to Paranoia Agent and Princess Mononoke, Japanese popular culture is consumed by an eager and exponentially increasing audience of youths, teenagers, and adults.
