Moto Hagio(Thu vĩ vọng đô,Hagio Moto,born May 12, 1949)is a Japanesemanga artist.Regarded for her contributions toshōjomanga(mangaaimed at young and adolescent women), Hagio is considered the most significant artist in the demographic and among the most influential manga artists of all time, being referred to as the "god ofshōjomanga "(Thiếu nữ mạn họa の thần dạng,shōjo manga no kami-sama)by critics.

Hagio made her debut as a manga artist in 1969 at the publishing companyKodanshabefore moving toShogakukanin 1971, where she was able to publish her more radical and unconventional works that had been rejected by other publishers. Her first serializations at Shogakukan – the vampire fantasyThe Poe Clan,theshōnen-ai(male–male romance) dramaThe Heart of Thomas,and the science fiction thrillerThey Were Eleven– were among the first works ofshōjomanga to achieve mainstream critical and commercial success. Hagio subsequently emerged as a central figure in theYear 24 Group,a grouping of female manga artists who significantly influencedshōjomanga in the 1970s by introducing new aesthetic styles and expanding the category to incorporate new genres. Since the 1980s, Hagio has drawn primarily adult-oriented manga in the manga magazinePetit Flowerand its successor publicationFlowers,notablyMarginal,A Cruel God Reigns,andNanohana.

While Hagio primarily authors works in the science fiction, fantasy, andshōnen-aigenres, her manga explores a wide range of themes and subjects, including comedy, historical drama, and social and environmental issues. She has been recognized with numerous awards both in Japan and internationally, including theOrder of the Rising Sun,aMedal of Honor,and commendation as aPerson of Cultural Merit.

Biography[edit]

Early life and career[edit]

Moto Hagio was born on May 12, 1949, inŌmuta, Fukuoka.[1]The second of four siblings, Hagio's father worked as dockworker, while her mother was a homemaker. Because of her father's job, the Hagio family moved frequently between Omuta andSuitainOsaka Prefecture.[2]Hagio began to draw at an early age in her spare time, and attended private art lessons with her older sister.[3]In her third year of elementary school, she began readingmangathat she acquired atkashi-hon(book rental stores) and her school library.[1][4]Her parents discouraged her interest in illustration and manga, which Hagio states they viewed as "something for children not old enough to read" and "an impediment to studying"; this would be a major contributing factor to what would become a lifelong strained relationship with her parents.[3]

During her childhood, Hagio read and became influenced by the works of manga artistsOsamu Tezuka,Shōtarō Ishinomori,Hideko Mizuno,andMasako Watanabe,as well as literary fiction by Japanese authors such asKenji Miyazawaand western science fiction and fantasy authors such asIsaac Asimov,Arthur C. Clarke,andRobert A. Heinlein.[3][4]She began to seriously consider a professional career in manga after reading Tezuka's manga seriesShinsengumiin 1965,[5]and in 1967 began submitting manga manuscripts to various publishers, includingKodansha,Shueisha,and Tezuka's own manga magazineCOM.[2]

In her senior year of high school Hagio met manga artistMakiko Hirata[ja],who also lived in Ōmuta and was pursuing a professional career at Kodansha while still in high school. After graduating, Hirata moved toTokyoand offered to introduce Hagio to her editor, which Hagio accepted.[3]Hagio made her professional debut as a manga artist in Kodansha'sNakayoshimanga magazine, with the short storiesLulu to Mimiin August 1969 andSuteki na Mahōin September 1969.[3]Hagio began working forNakayoshiunder a new editor, but struggled under the editorial constraints of the magazine:Nakayoshipublished primarilysports mangafor children, while Hagio preferred to write science fiction and fantasy stories focused on mature themes and subject material. Her next four manuscripts submitted toNakayoshiwere consequently rejected, with her editors instructing her to write stories that were "more interesting and cheerful".[6]In 1970, Hagio published theone-shot(single-chapter) manga storiesCool CatandBakuhatsu GaishainNakayoshi.[7]

Breakthrough and the Year 24 Group[edit]

Shortly after her debut, Hagio beganpen palcorrespondence withNorie Masuyama[ja],a fan of Hagio's who discovered her work throughNakayoshi.Masuyama gifted Hagio a copy of the novelDemianbyHermann Hesse,an author whose novels came to greatly affect Hagio and significantly influenced her manga.[6]Contemporaneously, Hagio's editor assigned her to assist manga artistKeiko Takemiya,whose work had been published inNakayoshi,COM,andMargaret.The two artists became friends, and Takemiya suggested that they move to an apartment in Tokyo together; Hagio, who was still living with her parents in Ōmuta and unsure of her future as a manga artist, initially refused her invitation.[7]Shortly thereafter, Takemiya introduced Hagio toJunya Yamamoto[ja],an editor atShogakukanand editor-in-chief of the manga magazineBessatsu Shōjo Comic.Yamamoto agreed to publish Hagio's previously rejected manuscripts, and Hagio accepted Takemiya's offer to move to Tokyo.[7]

In 1971, Hagio and Takemiya moved to a rented house inŌizumigakuenchō,Nerima,Tokyolocated near the home of Norie Masuyama. Together, the three women decided to create a living space modeled off of 19th French literarysalons,nicknamed the "Ōizumi Salon". The Ōizumi Salon aimed to improve the quality and reputation ofshōjomanga, a demographic which at the time was dismissed by critics as publishing frivolous stories for young children.[8][9]Numerousshōjoartists visited the Ōizumi Salon, includingShio Satō,Yasuko Sakata,Yukiko Kai,Akiko Hatsu,Nanae Sasaya,Mineko Yamada[ja],Aiko Ito[ja],Michi Tarasawa[ja],andMisako Nachi[ja].[10]This grouping of artists would come to be referred to as theYear 24 Group.[a]The Year 24 Group contributed significantly to the development ofshōjomanga by introducing new aesthetic styles and expanding the demographic to incorporate elements ofscience fiction,historical fiction,adventure fiction,and same-sex romance: both male–male (shōnen-aiandyaoi) and female–female (yuri).[12]During this period, Hagio published theshōnen-aione-shotThe November Gymnasiumin 1971, followed by the vampire fantasyThe Poe Clanin 1972,[13]with the latter series becoming Hagio's first major critical and commercial success.The Poe Clanwas also the first series that Shogakukan published as atankōbon(collected edition);[1]the firsttankōbonedition ofThe Poe Clansold out its initial print run of 30,000 copies in three days, an unprecedented sales volume at the time for a shōjo manga series that had not been adapted into ananime.[14]

Following a 1973 trip to Europe by Hagio, Masuyama, and Yamagishi, Takemiya announced that the Ōizumi Salon would cease, as she preferred to continue her career alone.[15]Decades later, both Hagio and Takemiya would disclose that the pair had a falling out in 1973 that remains unreconciled; Takemiya has written in her memoirs about feelings of jealously and aninferiority complextowards Hagio, while Hagio has written that their relationship was strained by accusations from critics that she plagiarized hershōnen-aiworks from Takemiya.[16]Nonetheless, the innovation introduced toshōjomanga by the Year 24 Group significantly contributed to the development of the demographic, bringing it to what critics have described as its "golden age".[8][9]

Career as a manga artist[edit]

In the wake of the critical and commercial success ofThe Rose of Versaillesby Year 24 Group memberRiyoko Ikeda,Hagio's editorJunya Yamamoto[ja]asked her to create a series of similar length and complexity for publication in the manga magazineShūkan Shōjo Comic.The resulting series wasThe Heart of Thomas,a long-form serialized version of Hagio's earlierThe November Gymnasium,which began serialization in the magazine in 1974.[17]Though initially poorly received by readers, by the end of its serializationThe Heart of Thomaswas among the most popular series inShūkan Shōjo Comic.[17]The critical and commercial success of bothThe Poe ClanandThe Heart of Thomasfreed Hagio from most editorial constraints and allowed her to publish her previously rejected works ofscience fiction,a genre which at the time was perceived as inappropriate for female audiences and thus was effectively non-existent inshōjomanga.[7][18]

They Were Eleven,Hagio's first published science fiction manga series, began serialization inBessatsu Shōjo Comicin 1975.[19]Hagio began to establish herself as a science fiction writer and moved away from the constraints ofshōjomagazines, publishing a manga adaptation of science fiction writerRyu Mitsuse's novelHyakuoku no Hiru to Sen'oku no Yoruin theshōnenmanga(boys' manga) magazineWeekly Shōnen Championin 1977.[19]This was followed by several manga adaptations of the works ofRay Bradburypublished as the one-shot anthologyU wa Uchuusen no Ubeginning in 1977,[18]Gin no Sankakuin 1980, and various one-shots in the science-fiction focusedS-F Magazine.Hagio did create science fiction works forshōjomagazines during this period, notablyStar RedforShūkan Shōjo Comicfrom 1978 to 1979.[19]

In 1980 Yamamoto became the founding editor ofPetit Flower,a new magazine at Shogakukan that published manga aimed at an adult female audience. Hagio moved to the magazine, where she was given full editorial control over the manga she produced.[1]In the subsequent decades Hagio would publish many works inPetit Flowerand its successor publicationFlowersthat are distinguished by their mature themes and subject material. Notable works include the crime thrillerMeshin 1980, the post-apocalyptic science fiction seriesMarginalfrom 1985 to 1987, the semi-autobiographicalIguana Girlin 1992, andA Cruel God Reignsfrom 1993 to 2001. Hagio's works during this period were generally not influenced by developments in contemporaryshōjomanga, such as the erotic manga of artists likeKyoko Okazakiand thejoseimangaor artists likeErica Sakurazawa.[1]

Hagio began teaching manga studies as a visiting professor at theJoshibi University of Art and Designin 2011.[20]That same year, theFukushima nuclear disasteroccurred; with the publication of her manga seriesNanohana,Hagio became one of the first manga artists followingKotobuki Shiriagarito address the disaster directly in her work; Hagio's prominence as an artist is credited with influencing other manga artists to address the disaster in their works.[13][21]To mark the fifteenth anniversary ofFlowersin 2016, Hagio launched a revival ofThe Poe Clanin the magazine, publishing new chapters nearly forty years after the conclusion of the original series.[22]

Style and influences[edit]

A page from Hagio'sThe Poe Clan(1972–1976), exhibiting the artist's characteristic use of symbolic decorativemotifs,superimposed close-ups of characters, andmise-en-scènedistinguished by a strong contrast of shadow and light

When asked about her visual influences, Hagio responded that she was influenced byShotaro Ishinomori's page layouts,Hideko Mizuno's clothing, andMasako Yashiro's eyes.[3]

In the early 1970s, Hagio and her fellow Year 24 Group members contributed significantly to the establishment ofshōjomanga as a distinct category of manga,[23]iterating on contributions made to the category in the 1950s and 1960s by artists such asMacoto Takahashito establish a "visual grammar ofshōjomanga ".[24]Chief among these developments was the use ofinterior monologue,which was written outside ofspeech balloonsand scattered across the page. These monologues allow the exploration of the characters' interiority and emotions, and serve to compensate for the absence ofthird-person narrationin manga.[24]

In Hagio's manga specifically, interior monologues are often accompanied by symbolicmotifsthat extend beyondpanelborders and overlap in a manner resembling a montage or a collage, creating a three-dimensional effect.[24]These motifs are often composed of decorative elements (flowers, clouds,screentones,etc.)[25]but are also often lines, sparkles, andonomatopoeiawhich serve to reinforce the "exploration of the interiority" of the characters.[26]Hagio also makes use of full-body portraits of main characters, a technique originated Macoto Takahashi, as well as superimposed close-ups of these characters, to mark the character as important in the narrative.[25]Hagio also usesmise-en-scèneand lighting marked a strong contrast of shadow and light, giving a theatrical effect to her works.[26][27]

When Hagio began to create manga for an adult audience beginning withMeshin 1980, she adopted a morerealiststyle. In particular, she changed the body shape of her characters, who until then exhibited the typicalshōjostyle of heads that were proportionally larger than the rest of their bodies.[28]She also gradually altered her page layouts, especially during the 2000s, to make her style more accessible to a new readership.[21]

Themes and motifs[edit]

Hagio primarily authors works in the science fiction, fantasy, andboys' lovegenres, though her works explore a wide variety of themes and subjects. This is especially true of her short stories, which have depicted a variety of topics and genres including comedy, historical drama, and social and environmental issues. Though her works are primarily aimed at a female audience, she does also attract a male readership.[1]

Dysfunctional families[edit]

A documentary aboutmarine iguanas(pictured) inspired Hagio to writeIguana Girl(1992), a semi-autobiographical manga about her relationship with her mother.[29]

Hagio has long had a difficult relationship with her parents, who disapproved of her career as a manga artist even after she achieved mainstream critical and commercial success; it was not until 2010, when Hagio was 61 years old, that her mother accepted her profession.[27]This strained relationship, combined with Hagio's own interest in family psychology, has had a significant impact on her manga.[1]Families and familial drama recur as common motifs in Hagio's manga, especiallytwins,which are inspired by Hagio's childhood fantasy of having a twin sister so that her mother would pay more attention to her,[1]and mothers, who are typically portrayed as incapable of loving their children and frequently die.[30]

Initially, Hagio approached manga as an opportunity to depict "something beautiful", rather than an "ugly" reality. Consequently, she avoided contemporary Japanese settings for her early works, instead preferring European or otherworldly sci-fi settings.[29]These early works nevertheless address dysfunctional family relationships, such as her one-shotBianca(1970), a "gothic revenge plot" by a child against their parents and older authority figures.[31]Her 1992 one-shotIguana Girlbecame a turning point in both her life and career. In this semi-autobiographicalstory, a mother perceives her daughter as an iguana and rejects her; the daughter internalizes this rejection, and is in turn convinced that she is an iguana. Hagio has described the process of writing the story as a means of making peace with her family, and following its publication, she became more comfortable writing works set in contemporary Japan.[29]Familial drama nevertheless remains a common theme in her works, as expressed in stories that address topics of child abandonment, incestual rape, and abortion.[1]

Bishōnenandshōnen-ai[edit]

Hagio'sbishōnenare inspired in part by films featuring young men in homoerotic scenarios, such asDeath in Venice(starBjörn Andrésenpictured).[32]

Hagio's works typically feature male rather than female protagonists, especiallybishōnen(lit."beautiful boys", a term for handsome andandrogynousyoung men). She has described a "sense of liberation"[33]that comes from writing male characters, as they allow her to express thoughts and concepts freely, in contrast to female protagonists who face the restrictions of a patriarchal society.[33][34]Hagio first introducedbishōnenprotagonists to her works withThe November Gymnasiumin 1971. The series is set in an all-boys boarding school, though an early draft of the story had a girls boarding school as its setting in order to conform to the conventions of theshōjomanga of the time, resulting in a story of theClass Sgenre. Dissatisfied with the draft, Hagio changed the protagonists tobishōnen;this aligned the story with the then-nascent genre ofshōnen-ai,the precursor to modernboys' love(male–male romance manga).[34]

Thebishōnenof Hagio's works are both non-sexual and androgynous: socially masculine, physically androgynous, and psychologically feminine.[35]The meaning ofgender ambiguityhas been variously considered by critics: from a queer perspective by manga scholar James Welker as an expression ofsublimatedlesbian identity,[33]and from a feminist perspective by sociologistChizuko Uenoit as an attempt to break out of the patriarchal dichotomy by creating a "third sex".[34]

Feminist science fiction[edit]

Hagio's science fiction works depict themes and subjects typical of the genre, such ashuman cloningandtime travel,but also take advantage of the genre's ability to depict worlds in which gender-based differences and power imbalances differ from that of the real word. Hagio's science fiction manga frequently explores topics relating to the place women in society, motherhood, andgender fluidity,taking particular inspiration from the works ofUrsula K. Le Guin.[36]

Notable examples includeThey Were Eleven,which depicts characters who belong to a race where individuals are asexual at birth and whose sex is determined at adulthood;[37]Star Red,which depicts a protagonist who is birthed by a male character,[38]andMarginal,which is set in a society that has become majority male through the use of sexualbiological engineering.[39]Thisfeminist science fiction,where characters that blur distinctions of sex and gender, challenges notions of dualism andsexual dimorphism[39]and has been argued by sociologistChizuko Uenoas representing an evolution of the feminist use of theboys' lovegenre to explore these themes.[34]It has also inspired the works of othershōjoscience fiction manga artists, such asReiko ShimizuandSaki Hiwatari.[1]
