Mainstream manga today are, first and for all, shaped by and engaged in transcultural flows. Whereas previously, American comics, bande dessinée and manga retained an obvious distinctiveness for both artists and readers, nationally defined styles and narratives have been losing significance under the conditions of globalization and information society. This situation raises, at least, three issues: first, whether the intercultural is actually replaced by the transcultural or rather supplemented; second, whether the cultural is confined to the national,or how the national relates to the regional, local and subcultural, which also applies to trans/gender; third, how the transcultural is facilitated by recent transmedia flows which call the very identity of comics into question.
