Japanamerica

Japanamerica is the first book that directly addresses the American experience with the Japanese pop culture craze--including anime from Hayao Miyazaki''s epics to the burgeoning world of hentai or violent pornographic anime to Haruki Murakami''s fiction. Including interviews with the inventor of Pac-man and executives from TokyoPop GDH and other major Japanese and American production companies this book highlights the shared conflicts both countries face as anime and manga become a global form of entertainment and change both the United States and Japan in the process.
