Inu Yasha

The last reading in the freshman seminar was Inu Yasha by Takahashi Rumiko. We had a good discussion about what makes it such a popular manga. Also, we reflected on what we’d all learned over the past ten weeks. The seminar was a great success, thanks to a wonderful group of students. We had a lot of lively discussions and everyone participated actively.

For the last class I brought the manga collection’s treasure, an original page from a story manga by Tezuka Osamu. It was exhibited during the Astro Boy Birthday (April 7, 2003) celebration and exhibit.

Also, I brought some other resources related to the class discussions that day – on Takahashi Rumiko, otogi-zoshi, yokai (demons, ghosts, ) etc –

    Ishinomori Shotaro

    My freshman seminar ended last week. One of the mangaka that we read is Ishinomori Shotaro. I just put in an order for the 500 volume Ishinomori daizenshu (complete works) that has just started coming out. It will be published at the rate of about 40 volumes every three months during 2006-2008.

    Here are some resources in the manga collection related to Ishinomori Shotaro –

    NOTE: Ishinomori Shotaro led the effort to compile this wonderful directory. It includes two pages on each of 500 mangaka, including a self portrait or photograph, a sample manga, a bibliography, and a brief biography/autobiography (”episode”). Only 5,000 copies were published.

  • I also brought some goods — some ema featuring his characters, an official Ishinomori Shotaro kaleidoscope and related storybook　（「青い万華鏡」と万華鏡のセット）
