-{{nihongo|'''''Manga Kenkanryu'''''|マンガ 嫌韓流|Manga Kenkanryū}}, translated as ''Manga—The Anti-Korean Wave'' or ''Manga—The Hate Korea Wave'' among others, also referred to as '''''Hating the Korean Wave''''' in a [http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/19/international/asia/19comics.html?ei=5090&en=b0d32e601cb39284&ex=1290056400&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss&pagewanted=all ''New York Times'' article], and '''''Hate Korea: A Comic''''' in an [http://mdn.mainichi-msn.co.jp/features/archive/news/2005/12/20051201p2g00m0fe022000c.html ''Associated Press'' article]) is a [[controversy|controversial]] [[manga]] written by [[Sharin Yamano]] with the theme of [[Korean-Japanese disputes]] and [[anti-Korean sentiment]] ({{lang|ja|[[:ja:嫌韓]]}}) in [[Japan]]. The manga started as a [[webcomic]] on the author’s [http://propellant.fc2web.com/index.html website] entitled ''[[Joseon|CHOSEN]]'', and after being refused publication for two years, it was published by [[Shinyusha]] Co., Ltd. (''Shin'yūsha'' [http://www.shinyusha.co.jp/]) and released in Japan on [[2005]]-[[07-26]], after which it triggered a Japanese [[internet]] movement. A sequel, ''Manga Kenkanryu 2'' (ISBN 4-88380-516-6) was released [[2006]]-[[02-22]] ([[Shimane Prefecture]]’s ''[[Liancourt Rocks#Current situation|Takeshima Day]]'').
-The book was released in the midst of the recent “[[Korean Wave]]” pop culture boom in Japan, which was started by imports of [[Korean drama|Korean TV dramas]] (one of the most popular being ''[[Winter Sonata]]'') and other pop culture imports. This has led to increased positive awareness of Korea, but it has also triggered a phenomenon known as the "Hate Korea Wave" (after which the book is named), due to increased awareness of various [[Korean-Japanese disputes]] and the fanning of previously existing anti-Korean sentiment in Japan. The book's tagline proclaims “There is one more Korean Wave that the media is hiding&mdash;the Hate Korea Wave!” ({{lang|ja|マスコミが隠しているもう一つの韓流、それが・・・・・・「嫌韓流」だ！！}}) The book is controversial both in and outside of Japan as it has been accused of distorting major historical facts, being racist, and not being frank in dealing with ongoing issues between Korea and Japan.
-''“Lacking confidence, they need a story of healing,”'' ''' said Yutaka Yoshida, a [[historian]] at [[Hitotsubashi University]]. ''' ''"Even if we say that story is different from facts, it doesn’t mean anything to them''."''[http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/19/international/asia/19comics.html?ei=5090&en=b0d32e601cb39284&ex=1290056400&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss&pagewanted=all]
-==Criticism==
-{{Cleanup|date=May 2008}}
-[[Image:Kenkanryu oft quoted.jpg|thumb|Part of the final debate scene shown in the ''[[The New York Times]]'' article, where Tae says the often-quoted “It’s not an exaggeration to say that Japan built the South Korea of today!”]]
-''“In the '80s, when Japan was riding the crest of the wave, there was a great deal of hubris and sense of superiority,” '' said Jean-Pierre Lehmann, professor of [[international political economy]] and founding director of the Evian Group, a [[Swiss]]-based organization promoting global market economy.
-<blockquote>Forecasts were that the Japanese economy would take over the US by around about now ... Then the bubble burst and the last dozen or so years have seen ... the collapse of the economy, the decline of many hitherto global champion firms ... the unexpected and spectacular rise of [[China]], shunting Japan to the sidelines, [and] the total lack of support for Tokyo's bid for a permanent seat at the [[UN Security Council]].</blockquote>
-These dynamics have culminated to form a [[nationalist]] sentiment among some. "[[Japanese nationalism]] is defensive and reflecting a growing sense of uncertainty, insecurity and inferiority," Lehmann said. <ref>"[http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Japan/HD21Dh01.html Comics stoke Japan-Korea tension]," ''[[Asia Times]]''</ref>
-Due to the controversial content of the series, there have been many criticisms of the manga, the main complaint being that the series portrays Koreans in a negative light, while glossing over anything negative related to the Japanese. Critics cite examples of this both in the character portrayals of people representing their respective groups and in the commentaries actually made by various characters.
-Regarding character portrayals, one complaint in ''The New York Times'' article is that “The Japanese characters in the book are drawn with big eyes, blond hair and Caucasian features; the Koreans are drawn with black hair, narrow eyes and very Asian features.” ''Kenkanryu 2'' objects to such a view; the author states that “this expression is a typical expression in cartoons in Japan.” (''Kenkanryu 2'', P267) Another common critique is that the way in which the characters' personalities are presented is heavily one-sided and purposefully harmful to the image of Korea and its proponents in the manga: figures on the Japanese "side" have generally carefree, enjoyable attitudes and come from a diversity of backgrounds; figures on the Korean side, on the other hand, consist only of arrogant members from educated, elitist backgrounds, leading to a heavily distorted, stereotyped presentation of Koreans.
-Their main criticism, however, is based on the actual commentary and opinions espoused by some of the characters in the manga. One such example is the claim that South Korea owes its current success to Japan, while overlooking the negative aspects of Japanese occupation (e.g. human rights violations and forced assimilation) in favor of the claim that Japan was the impetus for Korea's modernization.
-[[Image:Kenkanryu nyt 2.jpg|thumb|left|Another excerpt from a debate scene in Chapter 2, part of which is also shown in the NYT article]]
-The book covers a variety of [[Korean-Japanese disputes]], particularly [[Anti-Japanese sentiment#Korea|anti-Japanese sentiment in Korea]], the [[Liancourt Rocks]] [[territorial dispute]], the history of [[Korea under Japanese rule]], the [[Japanese history textbook controversies]], recognition of history, foreign suffrage (namely that of [[Zainichi Korean]]s) in Japan, and disputes over the origins of Japanese culture (e.g. [[Kendo]] vs [[Kumdo]]), with a viewpoint mainly criticizing the state of affairs in the [[Republic of Korea]]. The content comes mainly from already-existing opinions espoused by critics of South Korea, though put in a [[manga]] format. Critics argue that by transferring opinions on these issues to this medium, it makes it easier for the author to convey his criticisms of Korea to people with no previous interest in Korea. Also, a discussion on South Korea as seen through the Korean Wave drama ''Winter Sonata'', as well as a basic synopsis of the show, are given in an extra chapter at the end of the book.
-===Reception in Japan===
-The book was created with the aim of spreading what the author believed was the "detestable reality of South Korea", and encouraging identification of South Korea with these negative aspects, with the idea that by asserting this through the medium of manga, the ideas would “make as much of a hit as the ''[[Gomanism|Gōmanism Manifesto]]'' did” (said by the author himself, according to the ''Kenkanryu Official Guidebook''). Readers with previous anti-Korean sentiments have accepted the author's viewpoint ("correct understanding of South Korea") wholeheartedly, so much so that the manga's contents are seen as truth rather than opinion to its supporters. The book has been widely promoted on websites, blogs and [[message board]]s such as [[2channel]], where [[right-wing]] and anti-Korean opinions are common, and there are even cases of inserting content directly from the book by websites criticizing South Korea (many reproducing photographs directly from the book) in the form of supplementing the book's contents, and also in the form of introducing information raised on the [[2channel]] [[2channel#Korea and 2channel|Hangul Board]]. As shown through the book's bibliography, a significant portion of the book's content (e.g. the World Cup and Korean plagiarism issues) was also sourced from websites.
-In contrast to the Japanese internet, there is not as much of a right-wing presence in the Japanese media. The book had been refused publication for two years, and some Japanese newspapers refused to advertise the book. Well-known revisionist writers have contributed four written articles to the book, however: [http://www26.tok2.com/home2/nishionitiroku/ Kanji Nishio] (honorary chairman of the [[Japanese Society for History Textbook Reform]]) on the Korean people, [http://nishimura-voice.seesaa.net/ Kohyu Nishimura] (described as a "publicist") on the South Korean media, [[Takahiro Ōtsuki]] (a professor who was a member of the Society when it was formed) on the "Hate Korea Kitchens" ({{lang|ja|嫌韓厨}}; ''Kenkanchū''), and [http://japundit.com/archives/2005/05/17/641/ Masao Shimojō] on the Liancourt Rocks dispute. The book also shows marked influence from the [http://www.jiyuu-shikan.org/engpageyahoo/toppage2.html "liberal historical viewpoint"] held by the Japanese Society for History Textbook Reform, and the book holds a historical viewpoint common to that of [[Yoshinori Kobayashi]]'s ''[[Gomanism|Gōmanism Manifesto]]'' series (the fact that his name is given on the section about [[Comfort women#The ongoing debate over comfort women|the ongoing debate over comfort women]] is also seen as a sign of his influence [''Kenkanryu'' 1/Official Guidebook]). A supplementary volume has recently been released entitled ''The Truth of "Manga - The Hate Korea Wave"!'' ({{lang|ja|マンガ嫌韓流の真実!}}, ''Manga Kenkanryū no Shinjitsu'', ISBN 4-7966-4973-5, published by [[Takarajima-sha]] and released [[2005]]-[[10-21]]), using evidence to support its claims that the arguments presented in ''The Hate Korea Wave'' are based in fact. A book debunking Kenkanryu has recently been released, however, entitled [[Manga Kenkanryu#Related books|''This Part of "Manga Kenkanryu" is Nonsense - A Serious Rebuttal'']].
-The [[2005]]-[[11-19]] ''[[New York Times]]'' article [http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/19/international/asia/19comics.html?ei=5090&en=b0d32e601cb39284&ex=1290056400&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss&pagewanted=all "Ugly Images of Asian Rivals Become Best Sellers in Japan"] by [[Norimitsu Onishi]] describes ''Kenkanryu'' and another manga, ''[[Manga Kenkanryu#Related books|Introduction to China]]'' as "portraying Chinese and Koreans as base peoples and advocating confrontation with them". The article also discusses how the book reveals some of the sentiments underlying Japan's current worsening relations with the rest of Asia, as well as the country's longstanding unease with its own sense of identity. It claims that the book is influenced by how much of Japan's history in the last century and a half has been guided by the goal of becoming more like the West and less like Asia and how the book perhaps inadvertently betrays Japan's conflicted identity of a longstanding feelings of inferiority toward the West and superiority toward the rest of Asia. (See above)
-===Claims/arguments made in the book===
-In Chapter 1, the book recounts the conduct of the Korean team in the 2002 World Cup and discusses controversial refereeing decisions in the matches against Portugal and Spain. The book gives the impression that the Korean team had an unfair advantage in certain key matches. The book fails, however, to compare the conduct of the Korean team with others in the tournament. Although Takao tells Kaname on p.20 that "This subject was the talk of soccer-related internet message boards" ({{lang|ja|サッカー関係のネット掲示板ではこの話題で持ちきりだぜ}}), the Japanese blog [http://d.hatena.ne.jp/yamaki622/searchdiary?word=%2a%5b%c2%e81%cf%c3%20W%c7%d5%5d ''Exposing Manga Kenkanryu's Lies''] states that it was not only the Korean games that were controversial&mdash;for example, the question of whether a goal by Inada in the Russia-Japan game was offside or not has been disputed. This [http://2002.fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/02/en/t/st/tf/tfc/index.html table of statistics] shows that other teams that progressed far into the tournament had similarly high numbers of fouls.
-The book implies that the misjudgment was a decisive factor in the Korean team's record four advancements in the tournament (like Japan, the Korean team had never won a World Cup game before 2002). Although the book suggests an ulterior motive behind the misjudgment, it does not speculate on what that motive might have been (e.g. bribery). As the book points out, four referee decisions were [http://english.donga.com/srv/service.php3?biid=2004110353778 included in the 2004 ''FIFA Fever'' DVD release] in its list of top 10 wrong referee decisions in the history of the World Cup. Although the book states that this DVD release by FIFA was in response to the demands of the “fair judgement movement”, ''Exposing Manga Kenkanryu's Lies'' refers to a [http://number.goo.ne.jp/soccer/world/20041202-contro.html news article] in which FIFA states that it was not they that directed the DVD's content, but another company under license from FIFA. The blog goes on to point out that the book does not mention that in third place was a refereeing decision during a Brazil game. ''The New York Times'' article by [[Norimitsu Onishi]] also states that the reason behind bringing up the 2002 FIFA World Cup was to justify Japan’s lagging behind South Korean soccer by questioning the validity of the South Korean team’s success in an attempt to bring it down to an equal footing with Japan, as well as to combat the growing opinion in Japan that South Korea has emerged as a rival to Japan.
-The book also describes the conduct of overzealous Korea supporters, and on p.20 claims, as an [http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Japan/HD21Dh01.html ''Asia Times'' article] points out, that the [[Hinomaru]] on the Japanese flag displayed during the opening ceremony in Seoul was deliberately drawn bigger that the usual size to make the flag look like a used sanitary napkin. The blog points out that the size of the Hinomaru appeared bigger due to an illusion created by the angle at which this photo (original photo [http://f.hatena.ne.jp/yamaki622/20060513235834 here]) was taken, and that a side angle photo [http://f.hatena.ne.jp/yamaki622/20060514000316 here] shows a more accurate comparison to the [[Flag of South Korea|Taegukgi]]. The blog also suggests that Yamano was working on the false assumption that the circle in the middle of South Korea’s flag is the same size as that of the Hinomaru, noting that on the [http://www.mofa.go.jp/mofaj/world/kokki/k_asia.html Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs webpage] the circle on the Hinomaru is also bigger in comparison to the Taegukgi, and also notes that on p. 20 the tetragrams on the South Korean flag are drawn incorrectly.
-On the [[2003]]-[[10-28]] [[Tokyo Broadcasting System|TBS]] ''Sunday Morning'' news program, Tokyo governor [[Shintaro Ishihara]] was shown at a rally in support of Japanese who had been abducted to North Korea, during which he remarked on camera, "It is not my intention to justify the history of Japan's annexation of Korea 100 percent", but a technician erroneously superimposed a subtitle that read, “It ''is'' my intention…”[http://www.asiamedia.ucla.edu/article-eastasia.asp?parentid=19193] The book covers the subject of Ishihara suing TBS for libel. The book does not mention that four concerned persons sent documents to the prosecutor, or that the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office dropped Ishihara's case on the grounds that there was "no malicious intent on the part of TBS".
-==Responses to the book==
-*Immediately following the announcement of the decision to release the book, it became an active topic in personal [[blog]]s, [[2channel]] and other message boards, and movements calling for the preordering or purchase of the book developed. When [[Amazon.co.jp]] started selling preorders of the book, it quickly rose to the #1 bestselling ranking. The next day, this was simultaneously reported in the ''[[Chosun Ilbo]]'', the ''[[Dong-a Ilbo]]'', the ''[[Joong Ang Ilbo]]'', the [[Yonhap|Yonhap News Agency]], and the [[SBS (Korea)|SBS (Seoul Broadcasting System)]], and throughout the [[South Korea]]n media.{{Fact|date=February 2007}}
-:*After the release, arguments against the book (both the book itself and the information used in it), and arguments against those arguments became the focus of blogs and message boards.
-*The [[2005]]-[[07-26]] issue of ''[[Tokyo Sports]]'' reported that the major newspapers [[Asahi Shimbun]], [[Yomiuri Shimbun]] and [[Sankei Shimbun]] had refused to advertise the book.  Other sports newspapers, including ''[[Evening Fuji]]'' (also published by Sankei Shimbun), however, advertised the book.
-*In the Amazon.co.jp Japanese Books Top Sales Rankings printed in the ''Asahi Shimbun'' from [http://book.asahi.com/ranking/TKY200507230145.html July 11-17], there was the explanatory message that “*Comics are not included in the rankings” ({{lang|ja|ランキングの対象書籍にコミックは含まれていません}}), and the Amazon rankings in other newspapers also showed this message. This message had not been shown before when the books were deleted from the Asahi rankings for [http://book.asahi.com/ranking/TKY200507160111.html July 4-10]. This was contradicted, however, when the [http://book.asahi.com/ranking/TKY200508130115.html August 1-7] rankings showed the controversial manga ''Neo [[Gomanism]] Manifesto Special: On [[Yasukuni Shrine|Yasukuni]]''.
-:*On the [http://book.asahi.com/ranking/TKY200508260242.html August 15-21] rankings, the “*'''Message From Amazon.co.jp''': The manga titles removed until now from the rankings, ''Manga&mdash;The Hate Korea Wave'' and ''[[Manga&mdash;An Introduction to China: A Study of Our Bothersome Neighbors]]'', will be included in the rankings from now on.” ({{lang|ja|※'''Amazon.co.jpからのおことわり'''：これまで漫画のタイトルにつき除外しておりました『マンガ嫌韓流』と『マンガ中国入門 やっかいな隣人の研究』を今回よりランキングに含めております。}}) was shown, and the two books then occupied the #1 and 2 rankings respectively.
-*Alongside cries to “Drive away the Hate Korea heat wave!”, there were messages posted at the websites of [[Rakuten]] and other online stores calling for the [[Book burning|burning of the book]], while others called for the buying out of all available copies.
-*While the book reached the shelves of bookstores according to schedule on the release date, there was a general shortage of copies and the book immediately following the release date became difficult to find. It is thought that bookstores which did not carry it were few, however. The publisher quickly reprinted the book to meet demand.
-*According to the Shinyusha official website, the number of copies printed (as of September 2005) is 300,000.
-*In the September 30 evening issue of the ''Yomiuri Shimbun'', a review appeared criticizing the book as follows: "Is this not an example of the manipulation of the reader's impression through beautifying those who support you and portraying those who oppose you otherwise, which we have criticized China and Korea for doing?" This sentence also refers to outspoken right-wing social critic [[Yoshinori Kobayashi]]’s practice of glorifying himself and demonizing opponents such as [[Hachirō Taku]] and [[Satoshi Uesugi]], which is frequently criticized.
-*A positive comment about the book was written in the ''[[Chunichi Shimbun]]'' evening edition’s ''Ōnami Sazanami'' ({{lang|ja|大波小波}}, ''Billow and Ripple'') column supporting the book's stance on the [[Liancourt Rocks]] dispute.
-==Sequel==
-[[Image:Kenkanryu2cover.png|right|thumb|The cover of ''Kenkanryu 2''. Black strip: ''It was reported in the US New York Times, UK The Times and South Korean major media outlets, and attracted worldwide attention! The anticipated second round of the controversial book which sold 450,000 copies and triggered the "Hate Korea Wave Phenomenon" has arrived!'']]
-The book was so successful (450,000 copies sold) that a sequel, ''Manga Kenkanryu 2'' was released on [[2006]]-[[02-22]], the same date as Japan's [[Shimane Prefecture]] designated “[[Dokdo|Takeshima]] Day” last year, angering South Koreans. While continuing more or less upon the basic setting of its predecessor, the sequel also deals with such issues as far as Zainichi issues, the [[Sea of Japan naming dispute]], and Japan's Protection of Human Rights Bill. It is also not merely a criticism of South Korea but also upon the position of Japanese media reporting, House of Councillors member [[Tomiko Okazaki]]'s participation in anti-Japanese demonstrations, and the educational position of the [[Japan Teachers Union]].
-In the article regarding Zainichi issues, the book by name focuses upon South Korea but is centered upon the North Korean-linked Chogin Credit Cooperatives, Zainichi North Korean schools, and the [[North Korean abductions of Japanese|North Korean abduction issue]] with focus upon Zainichi North Koreans and the North Korean-linked [[General Association of Korean Residents in Japan]], and this aspect of the book's organization has undergone criticism from Japanese netizens for failing to touch upon the subject of Zainichi South Koreans and the South Korean-linked [[Mindan|Korean Residents Union in Japan]].
-Another issue the sequel deals with is the media response (including ''[[The New York Times]]''') response to the original book.
-====Story====
-Kaname Okiayu's seniors graduate, and the Far East Asia Investigation Committee is joined by freshmen and new exchange students. Kaname Okiayu, who learned the "true" history of Korea, becomes a third year university student and advanced to become a central figure in the Committee.
-On the other hand, Kōichi Matsumoto, a Zainichi Korean who has come to appear in the Committee, has begun to worry about his identity as a "Zainichi"......
-The South Korean university students who lost to the Far East Asia Investigation Committee in the previous debate showdown have, with the praise of the South Korean people, come back for a rematch. Kaname and the group, who have accepted their challenge and come to South Korea, are facing their greatest adversary yet.
-==''The Hate Japan Wave''==
-{{Update}}
-{{main|Hyeomillyu}}
-''The Hate Japan Wave'' ([[Hangul]]: {{lang|ko|혐일류}}; [[Hanja]]: {{lang|ko|嫌日流}}; [[Revised Romanization of Korean]]: Hyeomillyu), a [[manhwa]] in direct opposition to ''The Hate Korea Wave'', is currently being written by South Korean cartoonist [[Kim Sung Mo]] (김성모; 金城摸; [[Revised Romanization|RR]]: ''Gim Seong-mo'', [[McCune-Reischauer|M-R]]: ''Kim Sŏng-mo'') and was released on February-March 2006. According to a Joins.com article, ''The Hate Japan Wave'' is being created because ''The Hate Korea Wave'' "looked down on Koreans, and distorted history". At this point, chapters on the [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] (specifically the joint South Korea-Japan [[2002 FIFA World Cup|2002 Cup]], widely regarded as a success) and the [[Liancourt Rocks]] have been completed.
-Another book by the same name written by Yang Byeong-seol ({{lang|ko|양병설}}), a not so well-known cartoonist, has already been published. Yang's book, however, has been greatly criticized by many fellow Korean readers and media outlets for not being sufficient answer to Kenkanryu as many readers felt it lacks any proof or logical arguments.  The cartoonist in an [http://news.hanafos.com/society/view.asp?id=1784357&Class1=07 interview] admitted that his book was not supposed to be a professionally written article, but something he published with his own money as an emotional outcry toward Kenkanryu.
