Beautiful Fighting Girl by Saito Tamaki
3.0
The depth attempted by Saito's analysis is commendable. His approach uncovers deeply seeded notions of desire and sexuality that very likely drive the emergence of the beautiful fighting girl, at least in part.
Without proper scholastic knowledge of Lacanian psychology however, his analysis begins to sputter in technical discourse and becomes difficult for most enthusiasts to follow without supplementary study.
Ultimately, the journey led by Saito is an engaging one, having been introduced to the psyche of otaku, Henry Darger, and the history of illustrated works in Japanese culture. I can say I have a much stronger, more cohesive understanding of the contextual and psychological motivations that promote patterns in the manga/anime medium.
