ABSTRACT

This chapter presents an interview with Fusako Kuramochi, a Japanese shojo manga artist. The interview was conducted by Tomoko Yamada on October 8, 2007. In high school, Fusako Kuramochi applied to manga schools, where mangaka and editors from publishing companies host competitions and give free correspondence courses aimed at discovering and developing new talent. Kuramochi received awards regularly. In 1972, as a senior in high school, she received the gold medal for amateur mangaka from the monthly manga magazine Margaret for her work Meganechan no Hitorigoto, which became her professional debut. Kuramochi was different from other writers in the 1970s who depicted unrealistic girl characters in science fiction, fantasy, and romance manga. She kept her characters realistic and described real schoolgirl's feelings about love, relationships with friends, and the awakening of their self-consciousness. Kuramochi's stories are heart-rending, but they evoke tender emotions.
