They work, by and large, within the field of seinen, a loosely defined category of manga anthologies ostensibly geared towards young adult males in Japan. Admittedly the sample\u2019s homogeneity is partly a result of my own preference as a reader towards this niche, but seinen takes on a special relevance these days as well.\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/feministfrequency.com\/2017\/06\/26\/on-vidcon-harassment-garbage-humans\/\">On VidCon, Harassment &#038; Garbage Humans<\/a> &#8212; To kick off the Women Online panel at VidCon last Thursday, the moderator posed the question: Why do we still have to talk about the harassment of women?

This has been happening for a while, but it\u2019s a full on avalanche now. It\u2019s also something I saw coming 25 years ago.  (No one else is gonna pat me on the back so I gotta do it myself.) Seeing the devoted fandoms that female content-consumers developed for anything that interested them, ESPECIALLY genre material like paranormal romance, horror  and fantasy \u2013 I had a hunch that once they turned their spotlight on comics, the full force of female fandom would bowl over the fragile shreds of male safe spaces like a Mack truck through a pile of empty Axe cartons.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>the Mangaka who came in from the cold &#8212; Below is a small selection of four manga artists and one writer who are being overlooked by American publishers.
