Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Most recognized masterpieces and criti cally acclaimed works spring from this genre, for example: Akira, Berserk, Ghost in the Shell, and Afro Samurai (picture above as click-through slideshow). Frederik L. Schodt clarifies manga magazine genres as “often divided into four or five categories:
shōnen (boys)
shōjo (girls)
redisu (ladies)
seijin (adult as in erotic manga for men)
seinen (young men)” (95).
Schodt goes on to clarify that the term of “young men” is misleading: “despite its youthful connotations, is a wonderfully vague term that can refer to males between the ages of fifteen and forty” (96).
