Ankündigungstext:
„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. This Companion is divided into thematic sections that explore common characteristics such as visuals, voice, serial narrative and characters, whilst also highlighting distinct challenges and histories. Each section, in principle, consists of two chapters, one taking the perspective of manga studies and the other taking the standpoint of anime research. Providing insights into the media forms themselves through deliberately analyzed examples and concurrently introducing up-to-date scholarship in an accessible style, this Companion offers an authoritative model for research in the burgeoning research fields of manga studies and anime studies to newly interested and highly experienced readers.“
