Female manga artists born in 1949, such as Moto Hagio, Keiko Takemiya, Ryoko Yamagishi, Yumiko Oshima, Yasuko Aoike, Toshie Kihara, Minori Kimura, and Yasuko Sakata, who had a significant impact on not only manga but also culture and society, are known as the "Year 24 Group." Keiko Takemiya's "Nine Friendships," submitted to the reader contribution section "Gurakon" of Mushi Production's "COM" during her high school years in 1967, was awarded an honorable mention in the monthly newcomer award. The following year, "The Sin of Apples" received an honorable mention in the newcomer award in "Weekly Margaret," marking her debut. After writing for magazines like "Nakayoshi" and "Funny," she established Shogakukan as her writing base. In 1970, she began the serialization of "Toru, the Forest Child" in "Weekly Shōjo Comic," and after works like "I Love the Sky!" "Wedding License," and "Rondo Capriccioso," "Pharaoh's Tomb," which began serialization in 1974, became a major hit. "The Poem of Wind and Trees," which began serialization in 1977, depicted the homosexual love of young boys in an aesthetic manner, and had a significant impact on society. She also ventured into boys' magazines with "To Terra..." and continued to write widely, including a fantasy depicting an androgynous fictional country, "Iz Alone Legend," and a manga adaptation of "Azuma Kagami." She has been a professor in the Faculty of Manga at Kyoto Seika University, established in 2000. "To Terra..." was serialized in Monthly Manga Shonen from the January 1977 issue to the May 1980 issue, in a four-part structure. It was originally planned to end in three parts, and it concluded once in the fourth episode, but then continued intermittently for three and a half years. The author originally intended to write a short story based on the image of "a weeping Nakinezumi" that she had dreamed of, and it was planned to be a collaboration between Keiko Takemiya and Akira Hio, who was in charge of the mecha design. When it was compiled into a single volume, the magazine publication manuscripts were revised and expanded. For fans of shonen/shojo manga and fans of Keiko Takemiya, what do you think?
