Abstract
“Rebecca Suter’s fanthropological article, “Man/Woman: Gender and Identity Politics in Adrian Tomine and Yoshihiro Tatsumi,” skillfully investigates transpacific cultural negotiations between the graphic novels of Japanese American author Adrian Tomine, and the manga of Japanese comic book artist Yoshihiro Tatsumi, whom Tomine first introduced to the North American public. Suter’s essay pays close attention to the construction of the “Otaku” identity as well as to the cultural history of manga and anime fandom in the Pacific Rim.” (Takayuki Tatsumi: “Introduction to Three Asias: Japan – Invisible Asias, Other Japans.”)
