Fantagraphics Books first volume of manga is a collection of short
stories by one of Japan s most influential and critically lauded
comics innovators. Moto Hagio has been reinventing shojo manga
(Japanese comics marketed at 10-18 year-old girls) since 1969.
Unconstrained by boundaries of genre, she has sculpted a career
characterized by intellectual curiosity, psychological
authenticity, and an aesthetic sense that has often been at odds
with a shojo manga mainstream littered with Sailor Moon knockoffs
and sub-Harlequin-romance cliches. Now, for the first time in
English, we offer a Hagio primer, a selection of short stories
spanning four decades of groundbreaking work 1971-2007 by an artist
who is working at the peak of her creative powers. In Autumn
Journey (1971), a boy s pilgrimage to the home of his favorite
author has more meaning than either the author or his daughter can
imagine. In Marie, Ten Years Later (1977), two estranged friends
learn too late how their actions had destroyed the balance of a
perfect triad of intimacy. In A Drunken Dream (1980), two
scientists one a hermaphrodite, the other a tribal priest meet on a
space station orbiting Io; but they have met before and are
destined to meet again. In Iguana Girl (1991), a girl who appears
to her mother and herself to be a hideous anthropoid iguana
struggles to overcome her mother s rejection and find happiness ...
but her mother has a secret. Learn for yourself why the creator of
There Were Eleven (adapted into an anime) and A, A has influenced
the careers of countless other creators, both within and outside
the manga industry, and continues to garner international critical
praise and appeal to readers across ages and generations."
