  • Cultural commentators such as Keiichi Kashiwabara, a professor of philosophy at The Open University of Japan, blame the growth of otaku culture for the widening chasm between youth and mainstream society.
  • Sunday's attack has prompted politicians and health care professionals to lament again the country's high rate of depression and anxiety, especially among stressed school children.
  • Experts warn separately that the virtual world inhabited by Japanese youth has caused many to become too comfortable with the idea of seeing dead characters return to life. As Ukyo Murakami, a 14-year-old boy, told the AFP wire service yesterday: "I'm afraid [Kato] did this because he played video games.

  • Although Web comics have the distinct advantage of being native denizens of the Internet, they've also been much faster to capitalize on cross-media possibilities. While the Web model of distributing content for free has often been met with skepticism or even fear in the print industry, Web comics have used their free content to attract huge online audiences, and publishers are successfully monetizing them by collecting their free Web content in hardcovers and trade paperbacks.
  • Nowhere is that more true than in manga, or Japanese comics, which have become the most popular form of published sequential art in America. Manga is published overwhelmingly in the paperback book format and its success is largely driven by a younger audience that also happens to be more Web-savvy and less wedded to print than its forbears. As cell phone and smart phone technology in America finally catches up with what's available in Japan and Europe, some comics publishers have moved quickly into mobile phone distribution, a format that has proved enormously popular and lucrative for manga in its native land.
