Ed Sizmore reviews the ongoing shojo manga exhibit in Washington DC for Comics Worth Reading:
Overall, I enjoyed the exhibit. It was great opportunity to see orginal manga art and to get an appreciation for the history of shôjo. I would have liked to see more commentary about the history of shôjo and how the pieces on display fit into that history, especially how the pieces demonstrate some new direction in art or storytelling. When I’m looking at so many pieces of art, I like to have a narrative to connect them and help me move from piece to piece. But this is a minor complaint at best.
