Stella So Man-yee (Chinese: 蘇敏怡, born 1977) is a Hong Kong illustrator, comic artist and writer.

So began drawing from a young age and grew up with Japanese manga such as Doraemon, Dr. Slump, Heidi, as well as the work of Hayao Miyazaki.

[4] So visits, explores, and records areas of Hong Kong slated for redevelopment, and incorporates images of these neighbourhoods into her work in order to draw attention to their disappearance and "wake up the people to parts of life soon to be lost".

This was originally published on a weekly basis in the Ming Pao newspaper, and is a semi-autobiographical, light-hearted account of the daily life of a single woman and her cat, presented in an episodic (diary-like) format.
