Yūko Tsuno

[1] Her comics, all very short, self-contained works ranging from five to twenty pages, are surreal and dramatic.

[2][user-generated source] Tsuno published her first work in 1986 in the May issue of the avant-garde manga magazine, Garo with the six-page short story Reizōko (冷蔵庫).

Shortly after her debut came out, she received offers from mainstream magazines but turned them down, sticking with underground comix.

In 2000, Tsuno's short story "Swing Shell" (スイングシェル, Suingu Sheru) was published in the English-language anthology Secret Comics Japan, which was intended to provide an overview of the alternative comics scene.

Tsuno resides in Fukuyama, Hiroshima, and works in a graphic design studio.
