大学公開講座のセカンドアカデミー

"Mature manga - Despite manga being such a well known part of Japanese culture, and widely spread outside of Japan, the more mature, sophisticated style stories remain under-appreciated. This lecture will look at the origin of the mature style manga known as 'gekiga' from the 1950's. It's a term largely forgotten in Japan itself, but recently introduced in 'the West'. It means
'dramatic pictures', stories focusing on more personal and realistic styles.
The best known example is 'Golgo 13', but has it origins in the work of Tatsumi, Matsumoto and Tsuge. It will also show a modern manifestation of mature manga in English, in the shape of the critically acclaimed collection 'AX:alternative manga', and the recently launched line of mature manga from
Kodansha International, such as 'Hagakure:the manga edition'."

一般的に世界中に広く知られている「Manga」とは違い、劇画はあまり知られていませんが、より洗練されたものであり、隠れた魅力を持っています。「ゴルゴ13」は劇画としてよく知られていますが、この講義では1950年代から始まる劇画のルーツを探ります。また、最近の英語で描かれた劇画についてもお話しします。
