エロマンガ・スタディーズ

2020-03-25 by Leave a Comment

This is a book about adult manga. I have only read its two sections on shota so far, which cover the history of shota as well as an analysis of its allure.

Here is an excerpt from an online review by “toumeioj3” that is slightly critical:

引用されている画像はけっこうエロチックなのに、文体は非常に硬質、いささかのエロティシズムさえ寄せ付けない気配、この著者はエロマンガをどんな顔をして読んでいるのか、少し心配になった。マンガ文化に関心のある若い人には、この分野もお忘れなく、という意味でも一読をお勧めしたい好著、エロマンガを楽しんでいらっしゃる方には、無心に楽しめなくなるかもしれないので、敢えてお勧めしないでおこう。

It takes a long time for me to read and understand Nagayama’s language, so I look forward to the English translation by Patrick Galbraith, scheduled for release in December 2020 by Amsterdam University Press:
