Manga and Philosophy: Fullmetal Metaphysician
Steiff, Josef / Barkman, Adam
Drawing from Japanese art traditions, manga has rapidly become a literary force not just in Japan but worldwide. This title discusses manga by examining some of its major forms (lolicon to shonen to shojo), series titles ("Death Note" to "Space Battleship Yamato" to "Gunslinger Girl"), and cultural factors from a philosophical vantage point.
