This collection brings together Japan specialists in order to identify key challenges in using Japanese popular culture materials in their research and teaching. It addresses issues such as the availability of unofficially translated and distributed Japanese material; the emphasis on adult-themes, violence, sexual scenes and under-age characters; and the discrepancies in legislation and ratings systems across the world. The contributors discuss the different ways in which academic and fan practices are challenged by local regulations and also suggest ways in which Japanese Studies as a discipline needs to develop clearer guidelines for teaching and research.
