From “Ponchi (Punch)” to the dawn of modern manga—the evolution of Japanese manga culture, shaped by satire and humor.

Japanese manga magazines, which began as vehicles for political satire, evolved into a form of mass culture under the influence of “Ponchi (Punch)” culture and the pioneering efforts of artists such as Ippei Okamoto. Through numerous illustrations and items from a rare collection, this book traces the lineage of manga magazines, from the era of speech suppression up to modern manga.

*Table of Contents
Chapter 1 Manga Magazines of the Meiji Era (1868–1912)
Chapter 2 Manga Magazines of the Taishō Era (1912–1926)
Chapter 3 Manga Magazines of the Early-to-Mid Shōwa Era (from Wartime to Independence, 1926–1950s)
