Focusing on two women’s manga, Igarashi’s Jōji! (Georgie! 1982) and Kazui Kazumi’s Sekai no chūshin de ai o sakebu (Crying out love at the centre of the world, 2001), this chapter traces the development of the representation of Australia in women’s manga and more broadly its role within the shōjo’s imagination of the foreign. ■ Last modified: 2025-10-18 02:27:34
