Japanese manga and anime “are deft at portraying human emotions, including friendship and love,” said Nastya Pushkova, a 20-year-old college student. “Some of them deal with questions of thought. They rank with literature and philosophy.” Maria Luneva, 24, chimed in. “What is wonderful about Japan is its excellence in both traditional culture and contemporary culture,” she said.
