from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bisco Hatori ( Japanese 葉 鳥 ビ ス コ , Hatori Bisuko ; born August 30, 1975 in Saitama , Japan ) is a Japanese manga artist whose works are aimed at young girls and can be assigned to the Shōjo genre. She works for the Hakusensha publishing house.

Life

Even in elementary school, Hatori was drawing with a lot of passion. When she went to high school, she liked mangas like Akimi Yoshida's Banana Fish , Takehiko Inoues Slam Dunk , Saki Hiwataris Please Save My Earth, and Reiko Shimizus Tsuki no Ko . She published her first manga in January 1999 with the 40-page short story Isshunkan no Romance in the manga magazine LaLa DX , for which she won the 19th LMG Gold Debut Shō , a prize for outstanding first works.

After a few more short mangas for LaLa DX, she published a first longer work, Sennen no Yuki , in LaLa in January 2001 . The over 350-page manga is about a high school student who is afraid for her young life due to her weak heart. When she meets a vampire who is about 1000 years old, she wants to get him to drink her blood and thus make her a vampire too.

Her biggest success to date is Ouran High School Host Club , which was published in LaLa from July 2002 to September 2010 and is completed in 18 volumes. In the manga, the focus is on Haruhi, who goes to an elite high school and joins an escort service that consists exclusively of boys. Ouran High School Host Club's anthologies had sold over four million copies in Japan by May 2006 and were also published in German and English. Because of the great commercial success of the manga, it was implemented as an anime series in 2006, as a dorama in 2011 and as a feature film in 2012, as well as a radio play and computer game.

From December 2012 to 2013 she continued the series Sennen no Yuki in LaLa . The next longer series was Petite Pêche until 2015. Urakata has been published since 2014 ! .
