This volume, which is presented in the back cover blurb as the first book-length study of ‘the American manga publishing industry’ (where America means the US and Canada), is a sociological investigation based on comprehensive ethnographic fieldwork. The author, who previously worked as a freelancer in the industry and thus enjoyed the status of semiinsider, interviewed 70 people working in different positions for various publishers in the US and Japan, and conducted extensive participant observations, both in physical locations and through social media. The result is a wide-ranging and well documented survey that provides valuable data and insights into this important but still under researched publishing sector.
