Hiya,
I was the first guest in the Hagio Moto thread, didn't realize that I wasn't logged in.
Anyways, I'm a shoujo manga fan and would like to read some analysis on the genre and its history. Though I'm collecting whatever I can find in English, I can read Japanese, and searching on amazon.co.jp I've found some books on the subject.
I was wondering if you have read any of these, and if so, would you recommend any? Sorry, I hope it's not too long.
Edit: Ugh, sorry, I didn't realize the Japanese would mess up. I will try and romanize them. I'm not at all sure about the author names, however.
