The female gaze is used by writers and readers to examine narratives from a perspective that sees women as subjects instead of objects, and the application of a female gaze to male-dominated discourses can open new avenues of interpretation.

“Kathryn Hemmann’s insightful book adds a much-needed perspective on our understanding of the field of Manga Studies and its interconnectedness to closely related disciplines and mediums, particularly as Japanese popular culture, despite the relative cooling down of the ‘Cool Japan’ frenzy during the 2010s, continues to inspire and draw audiences to professional and fan-made content.” (Brandon Murakami, ImageTexT, imagetextjournal.com, Vol. 12 (2), 2021)
