Topic: Josei


  
  Heterochromia » The announced guest blog post: A laudatio on Josei
A lot of josei series are simply porn for women: A (most likely) blond girl falls in love with some (most likely) dark-haired alpha dog (mafia boss, student council president, president of some huge company) and lets herself get sexually abused and raped by said person.
The really interesting josei series are those which actually are like the description above: Most of the time they are love stories or revolve around the pursuit of ‘love’ (or at least a healthy relationship), but whose main interest is the search for oneself, whether it is through love, work or friends.
Josei manga tend to question the ‘why’ behind the things we do: Hataraki Man is a good and famous example, because it is freely available as fansub and scanlation - on top of that, I’ve read that it is very popular in Japan.

Josei entered a dynamic media scene in 1922, a time when popular, commercial women’s magazines were proliferating, led by the founding of Shufu no tomo in 1917.
Josei writings support Fuess’s view that although concubines might still exist and although Christianity had made relatively few converts by the early 1920s,[30] the monogamous marriage had become the norm.
Josei writers related these changing expectations to the 'awakening' of women to a realisation that love is the union of the spirit and flesh, an idea that sounds very similar to Havelock Ellis’s views.

The magazine, Josei, was one of the main platforms for his views, apart from his major newspaper columns for women in, for example, Yomiuri shinbun where Chiba worked from 1919 to 1926.
Many of the Western novelists and their works that Chiba introduced in Josei are also long forgotten, for example, the Russian writer, Boris Pilnyak[22] or the Swedish writer, Selma Lagerlof,[23] despite her being the first woman to win the Nobel prize for literature in 1909.
Josei was at the forefront here, making its readership acquainted with a living author and his work, Snow, in which the heroine tragically fails to achieve motherhood.
