Moto Hagio
Manga artist Moto Hagio has worked on a wide range of genres since making her debut with “Ruru to Mimi (Ruru and Mimi)” in 1969, some of her best known masterpieces being “Poe no Ichizoku (Poe’s Clan)” and “The Heart of Thomas.” She was a member of the Year 24 Group along with other female manga authors such as Yumiko Oshima, who was also gaining in popularity at the time, and together they built the golden age of girls’ “shojo” manga during the 1970s. It was against this backdrop that she released “They were Eleven” in 1975, which was a fully-fledged work of science fiction unprecedented in the shojo manga category, and which caused a wave of shock in the industry. Since then, she has produced further titles such as “Hyaku Oku no Hiru to Sen oku no Yoru (Ten billion noons and one hundred billion nights” (based on the story by Ryu Mitsuse), “Star red,” and “Marginal,” continuing to attract many fans.
This exhibition is based on the event held at Kichijoji Art Museum in Musashino City in April 2016, presenting original color illustrations produced by Hagio at the dawn of the science fiction genre in shojo manga. There will be roughly 400 works on exhibit, with around 120 added since the previous show.
