Moto Hagio is considered the most beloved shojo manga artist of all time. Unconstrained by genre, she has built a career exemplified by intellectual curiosity, psychological authenticity, and a mature aesthetic sense akin to Osamu Tezuka as opposed to Sailor Moon. For the first time in English, Fantagraphics is proud to present a Hagio primer: a selection of short stories spanning from 1971 to 2007 by an artist at the peak of her powers, translated by Matt Thorn. For those of you who think manga isn't for you.

Fantagraphics, hardback, 288 pages, published August 2010
