Manga Research

Right now I'm having a large project in school. We're supposed to do a research article. And at the end it will be a official document. I'm studding media and communication, so it had to be something that fitted. The teacher told us to choose something in our interest to write/analyze about. So I asked:
"Is it possible to read/analyze manga for my document?"
And the answer was: Yes, it is (thank god)!

So I've got a month to do my research about:
Swedish published Manga within a gender perspective.

First I had to figure out how to do my text analyzis of manga. Then I created a protocol. This is what I fill in with text notes while I read the manga - which will analyzed. And the last thing will be to write an article.

So right now I'm reading manga the whole days, it's actually tiring, but very fun. But I have to work even during the Christmas as much as possible to be able to finish my work in time. At the university you never have vacations except at X-mas and summer. So it's a bit weird to have to work all the time, because I really want to make a good article about manga.

However, the cool thing is that I'll be one of the first to do this research of manga in my country. ^__^

Merry X-MAS!
