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).

In questo ambiente totalmente disfunzionale (un po’ tutti i personaggi sembrano avere problemi psichici o comportamentali, tutto sembra essere immerso in un’atmosfera stralunata e sia Jeremy sia Ian hanno un vero e proprio crollo psicologico che li porta sul limite della follia, rivivendo praticamente gli eventi del Natale precedente in un vero e proprio psicodramma.
La narrazione è stralunata al limite dello psicotico, con momenti in cui realtà e incubo si fondono e diventano quasi indistinguibili.

(l'ho letto in inglese, so che non è finito)
storia con una tematica pesantissima trattata in maniera appropriata nei primi 50 capitoli, ma negli ultimi 20 l'ho trovato ripetitiva. Il problema principale è che ho odiato il personaggio di Ian e viene narrata dal suo punto di vista la storia nell'ultima parte.
È un manga che non consiglio sinceramente per la tematica così pesante che viene trattata a 360 gradi in ogni suo aspetto, quasi in maniera rindodante. Se volete soffrire, però, è proprio quello che state cercando 😄
