Japanamerica: How Japanese Pop Culture Has Invaded the U.S. (edit title)

Shelfari edited the description of Japanamerica: How Japanese Pop Culture Has Invaded the U.S. Saturday, August 1 2009.

• Japanamerica is the first book that directly addresses the American experience with the Japanese pop culture craze--including anime from Hayao Miyazaki's epics to the burgeoning world of hentai , or violent pornographic anime to Haruki Murakami's fiction. Including interviews with the inventor of Pac-man and executives from TokyoPop, GDH, and other major Japanese and American production companies, this book highlights the shared conflicts both countries face as anime and manga become a global form of entertainment and change both the United States and Japan in the process.
