Naono Yoshiko – Författare

Little Hiroshi, so embarrassed about the hand-knitted wool pants his grandmother forces him to wear. Sweet Mari, so jealous about her baby sister. Cute Sachiko, so worried about the iron she forgot to turn off before leaving on a family trip. Normal human feelings, understandable mistakes—leading to horrific disaster and scarring regret. If you assume childhood is golden for everyone, you’re wrong…DEAD wrong! From the back pages of otherwise bright and sunny shojo magazines comes HIDE AND SEEK, a collection of twelve tales of trauma by Naono Yoshiko from the early 1970s. With an essay by the author narrating her unique career in manga and the stories behind her emotionally indelible comics, HIDE AND SEEK is the seventh volume of SMUDGE, a line of vintage horror, occult, and dark fantasy manga curated and translated by award-winning historian Ryan Holmberg and published by Living the Line.
