Hi! I am lazy and depending on the goodwill of the internet to help with research!

So: tell me about Asian SF/F!

It must be:
  • Created in Asia by Asians

  • NOT from Japan

  • Any medium

  • Bonus points if I can get my hands on it (I am in the US and read/understand Mandarin Chinese)

  • Extra bonus points for SF/F from and/or about Southeast Asia or South Asia


I have a slightly better sense of SF/F created in Asia and popular in the US, though if you have notes for your specific country, that would also be good! Please note: NOT from Japan.

For self: [livejournal.com profile] rachelmanija's notes on Indian SF/F

ETA:
Korea:
- Pahanjip (Korean folklore + Tang China ghost hunters, manhwa)
- Bride of the Water God (Korean folklore (?) + alternate world + beast bridegroom, manhwa)

China:
- Swordsman II

All I've got is The City Trilogy (http://www.librarything.com/work/2153344/book/23752835) by Chang Hsi-Kuo, very much written in an SFF genre, which was published in China in the 1980s and came out in an omnibus English translation a few years ago - I have no idea how easy it is to find in the original, but the English translation occasionally turns up at libraries and used book sales.
