Heroes of Manga and Anime in the Psychologist's Office. Friendship, Love, Self-Esteem, and Calling

The first book on adolescent psychology using examples from manga and anime. A frank discussion about friendship, self-esteem, love, and growing up by Beatrice Millet, a psychotherapist and fan of Japanese culture. The book will help teenagers better understand themselves and those around them through their favorite characters, and help parents find common ground with their young otaku.

A teenager slams the door, rolls their eyes, and seems to speak another language. In reality, they are just searching for answers to eternal questions: who am I, what do I want from life. The heroes of "Naruto", "Demon Slayer", and other anime ask the same questions, experience loneliness, face insecurity, and learn to understand their own feelings. Their stories will help navigate self-discovery and discuss topics that are difficult to talk about aloud.

Anime is not just adventures and vivid emotions, but also psychological hints for real life. For teenagers, the book is a practical tool: how to cope with anxiety, build relationships, and stay true to oneself under the pressure of others' expectations. For parents, it provides an opportunity to better understand their child's interests and view the world through their eyes.
