Grégoire Pierre and Edgard Francisco Danielsen continue to explore Nekketsu through a psychoanalytic lens. Nekketsu is a subcategory of Japanese manga (comic) that targets adolescents. Pierre’s thesis is that Nekketsu talk to teenagers’ unconscious through displacement, condensation, and symbolization. Weaving together the structural model, object relations, and developmental theories, Pierre and Danielsen ponder how the Nekketsu sagas mirror the inner world of adolescents: the stories become spaces on which adolescents project and see reflected their struggles, growth, longings and desires.
