As awesome as this is it's just a Japanese product (as in Japanese text only) ... i'm not sure why this is being posted ?
For a moment i actually thought it was in English after all then i would have bought it right away. I do have an Japanese Moto Hagio illustrations book though. |

If anybody ever does license and translate this I definitely do want to read it.
I hope that this leads to more works of this type, both shoujo and shounen. EDIT: and seinen and josei and any demographics that I do not know about. I have found something that I like in each of those four. Last edited by Touma on Sat Apr 29, 2017 6:23 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I bought this and read it the other day and it's an interesting book but it's not an omnibus. It includes Hagio's early sci-fi masterpiece "Unicorn no yume", but that's the only manga in it. Other than that it's a a collection of texts on the sci-fi works of the year 24 group, a rundown on the role that various publishers and magazines played in publishing shojo fantasy and sci-fi, and a small artbook of color covers that shojo artists drew for various fantasy and sci-fi paperbacks in Japan through the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
"She was the first female manga artist to win Japan's Purple Ribbon" She was not, Hasegawa Machiko was. |

Thanks for elaborating! (It did seem a little suspect when it said that it included "Toward the Terra"; given that it's 3 volumes, it would be a bit much to include the whole thing). Would still love to read it! |

Given how we need more shoujo/josei titles in the USA, this is an ideal license. This is especially the case when it involves 2 female pioneers in this genre.
