VER PARA LEER: UNA LECTURA DIACRÓNICA PARA LOS CRUCES ENTRE MANGA, ANIME Y LITERATURA UNIVERSAL.

Manga and anime have been closely related to literature since their origins. At the beginning, they were linked to native textuality and they have gradually been expanding to include books from all over the world. In the following article, we will draw a timeline to determine the characteristics that the usage of literature in manga and anime have acquired over the centuries, while proposing a classification to address different modern productions and the diverse ways they refer to the world-renowned universal classics, which are part of the established canon. Finally, we will present as an example the study of a particular anime from the described model's point of view. To do this we are going to use both the tools provided by cultural history and the ones from comparative literature, in order to provide new tools for future literary studies linked to Japanese mass culture.
