Eventually Leo' s life is full of wonderful memories, but it could have taken a very different turn if not for those who loved him.
"Hagio Moto remains one of the most criminally undertranslated mangaka to have barely made an impression on the English-language manga market. It is criminal because of the profundity of her impact on the art form in Japan as it hit a crucial development phase in the 1970s. " * World Literature Today * "Hagio' s sea of accomplishments span four decades, and feature such common themes as friendship, siblings, death, the woods, the future, and love. Most come across as either quite poignant, deliciously odd, or frickin' creepy. " * Bust * "Moto Hagio is a manga icon who heavily influenced modern-day shojo manga, so it' s wonderful that more of her works are becoming available in English. " * Book Riot *
Moto Hagio (1949-) was born in Fukuoka, Japan and is widely considered as one of the pioneers of modern shojo manga (girls manga). One of the most beloved Japanese comic artists of all time, and has penned dozens of works over a wide range of genres throughout her nearly fifty year-long career. Easily one of the most critically recognized comic artists over the last few decades having won a number of awards, Hagio' s works challenge concepts of gender and humanity. In the realm of science-fiction is a three-time winner of the Seiun Award, the Japanese equivalent of the Hugo Award. In 2006 she took the Japan SF Grand Prize for her fantasy title Otherworld Barbara (Fantagraphics). And in 2010 she was recognized by San Diego ComicCon International with an InkPot Award after her release of A Drunken Dream (Fantagraphics). A national treasure in Japan in 2019 Hagio was recognized as Person of Cultural Merit by the Japanese government.
