This ninth volume of Mechademia-an annual collection of critical work on anime and manga-challenges the tendency to answer the question of origins by reductively generalizing and essentializing "Japaneseness." The essays brought together in Mechademia 9 lead us to understand the extent to which "Japan" might be seen as an idea generated by anime, manga, and other texts rather than the other way around.
