Overview
- Focuses on how female manga artists have encouraged the female gaze within their work and how female readers have challenged the male gaze common in many forms of popular media
- Engages with the most current discussions in the fields of Japan Studies, Media Studies, and Fandom Studies, especially discussions surrounding female and queer sexualities and the role of women in the creation and transformation of media cultures
- Details how erotic elements of the female gaze may be used to suggest subversive interpretations of the overt or implicit phallocentrism of many forms of mainstream media

Reviews
“Kathryn Hemmann’s insightful book adds a much-needed perspective on our understanding of the field of Manga Studies and its interconnectedness to closely related disciplines and mediums, particularly as Japanese popular culture, despite the relative cooling down of the ‘Cool Japan’ frenzy during the 2010s, continues to inspire and draw audiences to professional and fan-made content.” (Brandon Murakami, ImageTexT, imagetextjournal.com, Vol. 12 (2), 2021)
