Yoshiko Okuyama argues that tojisha manga illuminate otherwise "faceless" individuals and humanize their invisible tribulations because the first-person narrative makes their lived experience more authentic and relatable to the reader. Part I introduces the evolution of the term tojisha, the tojisha movements, and other relevant social phenomena and concepts. Part II analyzes five representative titles to demonstrate the humanizing power of tojisha manga, drawing on interviews with the authors of these manga and examining how psychological or brain-related symptoms are artistically depicted in approximately 40 drawings. This book is highly recommended to not only scholars of disability studies and comic studies but also global fans of manga who are interested in the graphic memoirs of serious social issues. Yoshiko Okuyama is Professor of Japanese studies at the University of Hawaii at Hilo, USA. Her recent publications include Japanese Mythology in Film: A Semiotic Approach to Reading Japanese Film and Anime (2015) and Reframing Disability in Manga (2020). 001449156 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed September 16, 2022). 001449156 650_0 $$aAutobiographical comic books, strips, etc.$$zJapan$$xHistory and criticism. 001449156 650_0 $$aMental illness in literature. 001449156 650_0 $$aMentally ill, Writings of the. 001449156 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001449156 655_7 $$aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411635 001449156 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aOkuyama, Yoshiko.$$tTōjisha manga.$$dCham : Springer, [2022]$$z9783031008405$$w(OCoLC)1305911573 001449156 852__ $$bebk 001449156 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-00840-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001449156 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1449156$$pGLOBAL_SET 001449156 980__ $$aBIB 001449156 980__ $$aEBOOK 001449156 982__ $$aEbook 001449156 983__ $$aOnline 001449156 994__ $$a92$$bISE
