Hi Giacomo, 

This is a really fertile field of research. I’d just suggest looking at the two documents Rayna Denison and her researcher associates put together:

http://www.mangamoviesproject.com/publications.html

There’s a real wealth of information there.

best,
Marc

Dear Kinejapaners,
>recently I was asked to write an essay on the boundaries between contemporary japanese cinema and manga. It's quite evident that mangas provide an unlimited source for movie scripts, as contemporary japanese cinema abounds with adaptations and so on. But in the works of some directors, we can also easily find a significant influence concerning aestethics, cinematography, archetypal characters, situations, mimicry, pop visual effects and so on, even in movies not directly adapted from manga. Maybe it's a bit too much complex matter to deal with in a short essay, as manga universe in itself (which in turn was influenced by a far more ancient aesthetical tradition) proves to be extremely multiform and its visual array wider than the well-known sterotypes of shonen and shojo manga, and as it seems to me that often the influence manga exercises on cinema is not specific and direct but blended with references to anime, videogames, tv shows, advertisings,
 Internet graphics and so on.
>Anyway, I'm asking you if anything has already been written specifically on this topic. Of course I found brief references to manga and "mangaesque" in movie essays, reviews and interviews on films or directors but nothing really focused on this particular subject (except for an essay by Olaf Möller about shojo manga published in 2001).
