Kaoru Mori
is a Japanese manga artist from Tokyo and the creator of the manga series ''Shirley'', '' Emma'', and ''A Bride's Story''. Many of her works are centered on female characters in the 19th century, such as a maid in Victorian Britain and a bride in Turkic Central Asia. She also wrote ''dōjinshi'' (self-published manga) under the pen name as a member of the ''dōjin'' circle Lady Maid. Mori's works are known for their high level of detail in terms of clothing design, historical nuances, and background work. Her manga series are often published outside Japan in larger, hardbound editions to complement the heavy detail seen on every page. Similar to authors such as Hiromu Arakawa, Mori often depicts herself in unflattering self-portraits with a simple outline for a body and a head full of wild hair, as she is very reluctant to show her face during public events or interviews. In 2010, Mori's first published work, ''Shirley'', was revived in a two-part continuation called ''Shirley ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
