Where it came from
Published in 2016, this academic monograph explores the phenomenon of global manga, specifically focusing on comics created by non-Japanese artists that adopt the aesthetic and narrative tropes associated with the medium. Casey Brienza, a sociologist and scholar of publishing, examines the tensions between globalization, cultural appropriation, and the industry definitions that frame what counts as manga in international markets.
The book is a critical intervention in the field of comics studies, critiquing the simplistic binary of authentic versus derivative content. Brienza draws upon extensive fieldwork and interviews with industry professionals to understand how creators outside of Japan navigate identity, institutional barriers, and the evolving nature of digital distribution in the twenty-first century.
