Japanese Schoolgirl Confidential: How Teenage Girls Made a Nation Cool

Japanese Schoolgirl Confidential: How Teenage Girls Made a Nation Cool - Brian Ashcraft, Shoko Ueda Schoolgirls are taken for granted in Japanese Culture (to us Western I mean), but they are really something. They are everywhere: music (AKB48, Morning Musume), movies (Battle Royale, Kill Bill), manga (Sailor Moon), games... And Japanese girls even COSPLAY. Like, there are "fake" uniforms that girls purchase, that are cuter or better looking than the real uniforms.

I loved the book, it is very complete and with many details. And many beautiful pictures.
