Abstract

Abstract:This article features an interview with Nonami Tsuna, author of the popular manga series, My Husband, Akira, Has Asperger's Syndrome (Akira-san wa asuperugā). The series highlights how a woman named Tsuna's mental health is negatively affected by her husband's Asperger's syndrome. This article introduces readers to a condition known as Cassandra syndrome and discusses how Nonami decided to illustrate it in her manga. Cassandra syndrome began to attract public attention in the 2010s, around the same time as Nonami's manga was published. My article sheds light on how social expectations of "self-sacrifice" on the part of wives, mothers, and daughters make them susceptible to Cassandra syndrome if they have a close relationship with someone who has Asperger's. Thanks in part to Nonami's series, an increasing number of manga about Asperger's have raised awareness of mental health conditions. Here, I use the word "tōjisha" to refer to people who have experienced mental disorders and similarly stigmatized psychological conditions and neurological disorders. I argue that an emerging group of graphic memoirs authored by tōjisha, which I call "tōjisha manga," deserves international scholarly attention.

Raising Awareness of Cassandra Syndrome through Manga:Nonami Tsuna's My Husband, Akira, Has Asperger's Syndrome /在漫画中讲述的卡珊德拉症候群:野波津娜的“老公是阿斯伯格”
摘要:本文采访了人气漫画《我的丈夫,阿斯伯格综合症》(Akira-san wa superperugu ā)的作者Nonami Tsuna。该系列突出了一位名叫Tsuna的妇女的心理健康如何受到丈夫阿斯伯格综合症的负面影响。这篇文章向读者介绍了一种被称为卡桑德拉综合症的疾病,并讨论了Nonami是如何决定在她的漫画中描绘它的。卡桑德拉综合症在2010年代开始引起公众的注意,大约与Nonami的漫画出版同时。我的文章阐明了社会对妻子、母亲和女儿“自我牺牲”的期望是如何使她们在与阿斯伯格症患者有密切关系的情况下容易患上卡桑德拉综合症的。部分由于Nonami的系列,越来越多的关于阿斯伯格症的漫画提高了人们对精神健康状况的认识。在这里,我用“tōjisha”这个词来指代那些经历过精神疾病和类似的心理疾病和神经疾病的人。我认为,由tōjisha撰写的一组新兴的图形回忆录,我称之为“tōjisha漫画”,值得国际学术界的关注。
