Moto Hagio (萩尾望都 Hagio Moto) is a manga artist born in Ōmuta, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, though she currently lives in Saitama Prefecture. She is considered a "founding mother" of modern shōjo manga, and a member of the Year 24 Group (24-Gumi). She helped pioneer modern shōjo manga, modern science fiction manga, and BL manga. In addition to being an "industry pioneer", her body of work "shows a maturity, depth and personal vision found only in the finest of creative artists". She has been described as "the most beloved shōjo manga artist of all time."
Moto Hagio made her professional debut in 1969 at the age of 20 with her short story Lulu to Mimi on Kodansha's magazine Nakayoshi. Later she produced a series of short stories for various magazines for Shogakukan. Two years after her debut, she published Juichigatsu no Gimunajiumu (The November Gymnasium), a short story which dealt openly with love between two boys at a boarding school. The story was part of a larger movement by female manga artists at the time which pioneered a genre of girls' comics about love between young men. In 1974, Hagio developed this story into the longer Toma no shinzo (The Heart of Thomas). She was awarded the Shogakukan Manga Award in 1976 for her science fiction classic Juichinin iru! (They Were Eleven) and her epic tale Poe no ichizoku (The Poe Family).
December 2,2024 Check my review for volume 7. This writer took a page from Keiko Takemiya's Kaze to ki no uta final arc. The story has taken a left turn with Jeremy now being a drug addict and prostitute after he was influenced by an old classmate. He was kicked out of his aunt's home after he stole money from his aunt,did drugs in his cousin's room and blackmailed his uncle for money. He is now a danger to himself. Ian who is now completely aware of Greg's treatment towards Jeremy. He is aware of his father's abuse towards Natasha,Lilla and Sharon. Ian blames Natasha for not helping Jeremy but doesn't criticize Sharon was allowing the abuse to to continue. Sharon is not only a pedo and a cheater but she blackmailed Greg and Jeremy instead of helping him. She is a awful person. Sandra knew of her son's abuse and didn't care and Jeremy's girlfriend is off with a different boy. Ian is trying to persuade Jeremy to return to England with him but Jeremy may be too far gone to be helped. At least Ian is regretting his awful behavior from the last two volumes. I'm waiting for him to properly apologize to Jeremy. I wanted Jeremy to have a better life but at this point I can't see this as a possible option. He was already assaulted in the bathroom and witnessed the death of a friend who faced a similar situation as Jeremy with his adopted father. I hope this will at least have a bittersweet ending. I don't want a tragic ending for Jeremy and Ian.
Greg memang sudah mati, dan luka fisik Jeremy juga sudah mengering, tapi tampaknya teror Greg masih tetap hidup dalam ingatan Jeremy, membuat luka batin Jeremy terus berdarah akibat terus berhalusinasi dan bermimpi buruk setiap malamnya. Berusaha melupakan semuanya itu, Jeremy mulai menggunakan obat terlarang dan terjerumus dalam kehidupan prostitusi demi mendapatkan obat yg dapat memberikannya kedamaian hati. Kasihan Jeremy.... Kuharap Ian bisa menolongnya dari lubang neraka itu... :(
