Also known as: ホラー漫画の女王ができるまで, A Memoir of Becoming the Queen of Horror Manga

by Kanako Inuki

Working on 5 publications for 18 hours a day with no break, producing covers for every horror manga magazine, 1-night trips with horror mangaka, appearing at events wearing all black, fan letters containing snake skin, publishers going under, big loans, etc etc... The mangaka who would be known as the queen of horror with representative works like Fushigi no Tatari-chan and Bukita-kun tells the story of her career starting with the journey to her debut, the height of her success, and her retirement. The industry of the 1980-90 and the connections she made there are all laid bare.
