Hi to everyone!

I just want to recommend the book "Passionate Friendship: The Aesthetics of Girl's Culture in Japan" for everyone that wants to learn about the historical development of shôjo manga and the influences behind it. One of the most importants things about the book is that it talks a lot about the girls' culture (shôjo magazines, s relationships, homosocial education, takarazuka revue, etc.) during the prewar period and links all this with the postwar shôjo.

I'm okay with adding mangaka who isn't considered a part of the "group".
