You can find several of the books I refer to on this site on Amazon. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases if you use these links:

Takei Hiroyuki: Shaman King, vol 1–3. Takei-sensei is my favorite character designer, and if you start reading Shaman King, you’ll understand why. Available in English on Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, Amazon.co.uk.

Nagayama Kaoru: Erotic Comics in Japan. The classic book about eromanga which both tells its history and discusses its contemporary status in Japan. Find it on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.ca, Amazon.de. (See my review here.)

Kimi Rito: The History of Hentai Manga. The perfect complement to Nagayama’s introduction. Explores the expressions in Japanese eromanga. Find it on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.ca.
