About The Expert Christy Peraja spent four years in the banking, finance, and customer service industry. This was the career that she had to pursue based on her background studies. She learned more than what she expected but always felt that it was not enough. She wanted to become an artist and she thought she could never become one. When Christy Peraja was in junior high, she drew an artwork for the school’s lobby as requested by one of the teachers. The Visual Arts Club Adviser, who later on became her mentor, saw her work and recruited her. He exposed her to many art contests and she received many awards just within those two years. She eventually became the club’s president and graduated with pride at having that title. For almost twenty years she hid her artworks and secretly but persistently trained herself in drawing, painting and writing. Realizing how much she has improved her skills gave her the courage to achieve her lifetime wish. Despite disapproval and criticism, she continued practicing. She is highly skilled at different works of art and manga illustration is her utmost favorite since she is also a big fan of anime and manga. She never stopped dreaming of becoming a real manga artist and she is fulfilling that dream now and has always believed that it was never too late. One piece of advice from Christy Peraja, “Don’t ever be afraid to chase your dreams because if you truly enjoy it, your dreams will be the one chasing you in the end. And you can never runaway from what your heart truly wants. Practice a lot and do not lose the passion of learning something new that would be helpful in improving your skills.” HowExpert publishes quick 'how to' guides on all topics from A to Z by everyday experts.

Outside Japan, the term ’manga’ usually refers to comics originally published in Japan. Yet nowadays many publications labelled ’manga’ are not translations of Japanese works but rather have been wholly conceived and created elsewhere. These comics, although often derided and dismissed as ’fake manga’, represent an important but understudied global cultural phenomenon which, controversially, may even point to a future of ’Japanese’ comics without Japan. This book takes seriously the political economy and cultural production of this so-called ’global manga’ produced throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia and explores the conditions under which it arises and flourishes; what counts as ’manga’ and who gets to decide; the implications of global manga for contemporary economies of cultural and creative labour; the ways in which it is shaped by or mixes with local cultural forms and contexts; and, ultimately, what it means for manga to be ’authentically’ Japanese in the first place. Presenting new empirical research on the production of global manga culture from scholars across the humanities and social sciences, as well as first person pieces and historical overviews written by global manga artists and industry insiders, Global Manga will appeal to scholars of cultural and media studies, Japanese studies, and popular and visual culture.

This collaborative book explores the artistic and aesthetic development of shojo, or girl, manga and discusses the significance of both shojo manga and the concept of shojo, or girl culture. It features contributions from manga critics, educators, and researchers from both manga’s home country of Japan and abroad, looking at shojo and shojo manga’s influence both locally and globally. Finally, it presents original interviews of shojo manga-ka, or artists, who discuss their work and their views on this distinct type of popular visual culture.
