Obsession:
Manga as a Cure Book
2 Publications based on my own obsession with my hobby of reading manga, aka Japanese comics.
2018
Publication
The first zine is a collection of collages of different characters that have positively influenced me during my teenage years, paired with a description of how each of them have affected me and what story they are from.
The second publication is an imitation of manga that I made to tell a story of how reading manga has changed my perspectives on things and helped me grow, unlike how many people may perceive manga as something only kids read. This publication is a collage of various scenes taken from my collection of the scenes I made screenshots of while I was reading, which is a habit I do when I feel touched by some particular scenes.
The scenes were then rearranged and scripted to make a completely new story, using a female character I chose from one of my favourite mangas to represent myself confronting different troubling situations. The story is separated into different chapters, each chapter dedicating to each concern I faced.
