LIFE LESSONS Akiko' s school days are long over and her work as a manga artist is keeping her very busy. Yet when Hidaka-sensei declares that he has four months left to live, it turns out he' s got one final lesson to teach her. The emotional finale of mangaka Akiko Higashimura' s dramatic memoir!
Praise for Blank Canvas "This series is a true boon to any teenage artist, as it both humanizes the Higashimura of today by showing her less flattering teenage qualities, as well as delivers a reality check that behind every prolific creator is a great deal of unseen work. . . Readers are accustomed to the wacky slapstick of Princess Jellyfish and Tokyo Tarareba Girls, which also blend serious storylines of self-discovery and exploration throughout their narratives. Blank Canvas, though non-fiction, is no exception to this expert balance of pathos and grounding humor. " --The Beat, Best Comics of 2019 ". . . a fun and personal chronicle of a girl' s coming of age and rise to prominence in the manga industry. It' s extremely entertaining and has just enough intelligence and self-reflection to resonate as a lived experience. It' s just really, really good. " --Anime News Network"I really like how she frames her career beginnings not from her start as a rookie manga artist, but from her perspective as an amateur high schooler trying to brush up on her art skills. . . This down-to-earth approach makes her story much more relatable. " --Manga. Tokyo Praise for Princess Jellyfish"One of the best anime and manga for beginners. Enthusiasm - geeky and otherwise - is power in Princess Jellyfish. Enthusiasm saves the day and paves the road to the future. "--Kotaku"Princess Jellyfish' s ambition is simple: to tell a delightful story in a delightful way. . . It' s a pretty deadly one-two punch. "--Anime News Network"Loaded with heart, soul, humor and insight. "--About. com
