Are there any academic journals that focus on anime/manga?


Are there any places that regularly publish anime or manga related academic
papers?

I'd be interested in reading them and possibly submitting one myself.




[Mechademia](http://mechademia.net/) is an annual publication published by
Minnesota Press. It also covers fan practices and other surrounding activities
and media of anime/manga

There is currently [a call for papers for a conference on Asian Pop
Culture](http://mechademia.net/cfp/), but none for the next edition. The last
volume was published in 2014 and they are still active.

Larger conventions occasionally have calls for papers and a good source of
finding them is [on the Fan Studies Network
site.](http://fanstudies.wordpress.com/) They hold their own conference with
cfps annually also. Arguably the largest of these is [at Anime
Expo](https://animemangastudies.wordpress.com/symposium/2016-cfp/)

Other resources for finding articles on anime & manga can be found here:

  * [The "Let's Manga" Project](https://groups.diigo.com/group/lets_manga) , [(also here)](http://letsmanga.be)
  * [Academia.edu](http://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Manga_and_Anime_Studies)
  * [Anime & Manga Studies group](https://animemangastudies.wordpress.com)
