Masters Thesis
Cultural representation of sex and gender in manga
This thesis will develop an argument that comics, specifically shojo manga, is an important resource for gender/sexuality education. Gender roles and sexuality are integral themes in manga, which will be explored with a historical overview of the development of shojo manga. Through an analysis of the history and major developments in manga, this thesis will address such issues as body images and banned/censored comics in Japan and the United States. This project will review and demonstrate close-analysis of four key shojo manga with clear representations of gender ambiguity, homosexuality, gender identities, and important cultural shifts in order to confirm shojo manga’s educational potential.
