Moon-struck: Western Michigan University's student newspaper previews a lecture called "Sailor Moon: Japanese Superheroes for Global Girls," which will focus on the growing influence of anime and manga in the United States, and the sexuality of works like Sailor Moon:

"When the girls [take on super powers], they become sexy. I'm wondering if that embodies a certain sense of feminism or if it's really anti-feminist. I'll talk to girls who think 'Yes, I want to look good, too,' and believe that it gives them an extra sense of power."
