Global Manga: 'Japanese' Comics without Japan?

A single-issue essay from Routledge that interrogates the term "manga" itself, examining how non-Japanese creators and publishers have adopted, adapted, and redefined the style and label. This 2020 publication steps outside the usual comic-shop release, offering a scholarly but accessible look at the global spread of manga aesthetics and the cultural debates around authenticity and influence. It's a compact, thought-provoking entry for anyone curious about how a national art form became a worldwide visual language.
