George Asakura

She took her pen name from one of the title characters in Gatchaman and made her debut in 1995 with Punky Cake Junkie, which was published in the magazine Bessatsu Friend DX Juliet.

A Perfect Day for Love Letters was adapted as a live-action movie and has been licensed in English by Del Rey Manga.

Known for her unique, edgy style and storytelling, George Asakura crosses over between the everyday and the fantastic, the hilarious and bittersweet.

In the afterword to A Perfect Day for Love Letters volume 2, she says her arms are long but her legs are short, and complains about her appearance by drawing herself as male.

Her favorites foods include coffee with milk in it, cream cheese and dairy products, and natto.
