Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examined how the representation of young women in Shojo Manga changed from the 1980s to the 2000s, a period during which Japan completely transformed into an advanced consumer society. In this era, young women were subdivided into various cultural groups and their representations were diversified. By researching both primary and secondary material and referring to contemporary cultural background, social situation, Japanese manga history, and publishers’ marketing strategy, this study successfully explored how these cultural situations surrounding young women influenced Shojo Manga, which formerly represented typical images of girls (shojo).
