This ninth volume of <em>Mechademia</em>an annual collection of critical work on anime and mangachallenges the tendency to answer the question of origins by reductively generalizing and essentializing Japaneseness.</p><p>The essays brought together in <em>Mechademia 9</em> lead us to understand the extent to which Japan might be seen as an idea generated by anime, manga, and other texts rather than the other way around. What is it that manga and anime produce that no other medium can precisely duplicate? Is anime its own medium or a genre of animationor something in between? And how must we adapt existing critical modes in order to read these new kinds of texts? While the authors begin with similar questions about the roots of Japanese popular culture and media, they invoke a wide range of theoretical work in the search for answers, including feminist criticism, disability studies, poststructuralist textual criticism, postcolonialism, art history, film theory, phenomenology, and more. Richly provocative and insightful, <em>Mechademia 9</em> both enacts and resists the pursuit of fixed starting points, inspiring further creative investigation of this global artistic phenomenon.</p><p>Contributors: Stephen R.
