This study was designed to explore the gender roles of youth comics and the perception of youth comic's readers. The methods of this study are content analysis and interview method. The findings, conclusions, and recommendations of this study are summarized as follows.
1.The number of male character is more than female character. The role of male character is still far more important than female character.
2.There are more gender stereotypes in male character than female character. However, female characters place much attention in love.
3.More recently, female character play less role in waiting for rescue. But male character is still more action oriented. Alternatively, female character appears to be quieter.
4.Most female character appears to be sexy and slim, and female characters at times show off their female sexuality.
5.In terms of outstanding performance, male character is more obvious and prominent. On the other hand, female characters may have outstanding performance but not quite obvious.
We hope that the content of youth comics can be kept away from traditional gender stereotypes, and the review of comics can be more open and transparent. Additionally, parents should spend more time to read and discuss the contents of youth comics with their children.
