Description

Manga is an eclectic and synthetic visual medium consisting of multiple panels. In manga, the chronotopos of stories are visually expressed through the spatially arranged panels which contain several pictures and words. This paper tries to analyze the characteristics of these manga expressions from the standpoints of psychology, media studies and semiotics. In part I components of the panel, i. e., characters, backgrounds, formophors, sonophors, conversations in balloons, and narrations, are extracted as layers. Characteristics of typical manga works are analyzed through the layer decomposition. Score descriptions of manga similar to musical scores are also provided based on this layer decomposition. Japanese girls' comics often show very complex panel compositions. In part II the history of panel compositions in shoujo manga are described with special emphasis on recent frameless panel expressions. In part III notable studies of manga expressions, i. e., structural semiotics, Natsume et al's theory and McCloud's treatise are critically examined and a framework of kansei cognitive semiotics on manga expressions is proposed.
