I'm happy to see other blogs recommending Hagio's work, first of all. By the way, I just discovered your blog today and I'll definitely be spending some time here. Also, speaking of Hagio Moto, my Japanese husband and I just started a blog where we translate and discuss one of the classic shojo manga of hers, "Poe no Ichizoku". It's a complex, poignant story about a family of vampires who travel through time. Please stop by and leave comments--we'd love for this groundbreaking manga-ka to gain a much wider audience outside of Japan, and eventually want to translate as many of her works as we can (as you already mentioned, currently very little is officially published in English) Thanks again and I'll be back!

Her <i>A, A'</i> is excellent, though, as is the collection <i>They Were Eleven</i> which contains one of her stories. This is people-centric science fiction with a plenty of gender issues. Also have a look at <i>Emma</i> (seven parts) by Kaoru Mori. A lavish manga about a love story between a maid and a tradesman's son in 1899. An impossible romance in a victorian setting. Very detailed and well researched, apart from being a good story. I can also recommend the work of Moto Hagio, who unfortunately has seen very little translation into English.
