Japanese Schoolgirl Confidential is a must for anyone curious about the girls that dominate Japan's pop culture. For years schoolgirls have shown up in internationally popular anime and manga such as Sailor Moon, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and Blood: The Last Vampire. There are kick-ass schoolgirl characters in videogames like Street Fighter, Quentin Tarantino included one as an assassin in Kill Bill, and magazines such as WIRED keep an eye on the trends emerging among these stylish teens.
