Manga Studies Research
As well as having a selection of manga studies academic publications in our collection, the Manga Library is actively engaged in facilitating research through the Manga Translation Workshop.
Monash University's Japanese Studies department also offers undergraduate and postgraduate students research opportunities in Japanese popular culture and the Manga Library holds copies of some manga related dissertations and publications by past Monash students and staff.
Below is a list of research projects run by the manga library, and links to their respective homepages.
