I'm entirely sure what I'm doing for my reading, but there's a good chance it will be a section of the Island of Eight Million Smiles: Idol Preformance and Symbolic Production in Contemporary Japan, because the gendering of females in the Akihabara subculture is clearly mirroring the gendering of idols in 'mainstream' culture.
Also, Quinn, you might want to borrow this book from me as well, as it relates the gendering of female leads in Japanese dramas. Yayface.
Also, Lindsey, This Jstor article is relevant to my interests :3 I want to read this and you want to read this and so it should be your reading for your presentation:
