Experiencing Something Wonderful

Watercolour, completed in 2012. My answer to the question: What inspired you to start making comics? The three manga featured in the first panel of the second row, essentially the three manga I remember most prominently from my childhood, are:

• Saint Seiya – the original by Kurumada Masami (hotblooded shounen fighting fantasy)
• Candy Candy – written by Mizuki Kyoko and illustrated by Igarashi Yumiko (frilly romantic early 20th century/WWI America historical shoujo manga)
• The Chef – written by Tsurugina Mai and illustrated by Katou Tadashi (slice-of-life seinen cooking manga)
