Since this list covers several years, the entries are arranged in reverse chronological order (from 1995 to 1991, none were published in 1990 or 1992), and then organized by type (books, book chapters, journal articles). As with all editions of the Annual Bibliography of Anime and Manga Studies, recommendations or suggestions for additional entries to add are always welcome.
