My Four Favorite Mangaka Writers and 3 of Their Best Works
Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)
The first writer is Kyoko Ozaki. She makes down to earth stories. Her main characters are usually women. I wanted to mention first Helter Skelter. It is about a fashion model that got pretty due to plastic surgery.
To sustain herself, she keeps spiraling down with the surgeries. She was constantly trying to achieve something as elusive as perfection. Pink is about a call girl trying to overfeed her pet crocodile. River’s Edge is about how awful is high school in Japan.
Clamp has Chobits, Tokyo Babylon and Magic Knight Rayearth. Chobits is sci fi with the robot maiden. Tokyo Babylon is about a yaoi exorcist. Magic Knight is one of the earliest izekai mangas. Anime girls get sent to a fantasy world to rescue a princess.
Junji Ito is for the horror fans. Tombs is a collection of short stories. A lot of from software games are inspired on his works. Tomei is about a maiden that has wolverine like regeneration powers. She has a weird effect on folks.
Men either try to kill her or they kill others out of a fit of jealousy. In Uzumaki, a town is being haunted by a spiral. The final artist worth mentioning is Osamu Tezuka. He is called the Disney of anime.
This is not a good definition of the fellow because he made a bunch of adult works. The first one worth mentioning Apollo’s song. A kid gets cured by Athena for sinning against love.
MW has an intriguing mystery revolving around a chemical with those two letters. Princess Knight is about a princess that must pretend to be a dude to keep the throne. She lives a duel life both as a Princess and as a Knight.
