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 –
