Section 3 Three Universes

Each of these three artists has crafted her own distinct universe.

Moto Hagio has carved out a world where fantasy and reality intertwine, at times transcending time and space to delve deeply into the human psyche. Ryoko Yamagishi delivers dramas that confront human karma, desire, and human psychology with insight and nuance, leaving readers with a profound sense of tension and a lingering emotional echo. Waki Yamato has built vibrant narrative worlds filled with dynamic characters, all grounded in her keen eye for history and culture.

All three are extraordinary figures who have remained at the forefront of the shojo manga industry, maintaining active careers from their debuts to the present day. Though they all began working around the same time, each pursued a distinct path of creative expression. This section retraces their individual trajectories as they shaped the history of shojo manga.
