Hollow Knight Mamma Mia Fanart

My Four Favorite Mangaka Writers and 3 of Their Best Works
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...
