   Didn't you post to alt.fan.utena, too?  You're missed there.  Come back!

   As for your list, what about anime-related scholarly books, such as Susan   
   Napier's?  Or books about comics that make incidental references to manga,   
   such as Scott McCloud's "Understanding Comics" and "Reinventing Comics"?  In   
   the former, he introduces a way of analyzing transitions between panels that   
   shows how manga uses very different transitions than American and European   
   comics.   In the latter, he calls for an expansion of subject matter and   
   gender interest in comics which mirrors what was already the case in manga.
