A Life Drawing Boys: Takemiya Keiko, the shoujo trailblazer who started BL manga

Spoilers for Kaze to Ki no Uta

Amongst the manga authors who rose to fame in the last century, Takemiya Keiko is one that most people don’t know—or so they think. It is not for any of her faults, of course, but for her link to shoujo manga. Classic shoujo has a hard time being exported, especially in the Anglophone sphere, and in pop culture discussions it’s generally been reduced to a subpar category of comics when compared to the high-praise shounen manga are known to receive. However, her value as a multifaceted artist and storyteller should be valued as much as other prominent authors from the ‘70s and ‘80s.

Born in 1950 in the city of Tokushima and raised on the southern island of Shikoku, detached from the glossy and busy heart of the country, Takemiya had dreamt of becoming a mangaka since her high school days. She grew up reading shounen manga and idolizing names such as Tezuka Osamu and Ishinomori Shotaro.

Such a dream was (partially) fulfilled (or at least, barely begun) in 1967, after winning first place in Mushi Production’s monthly magazine COM with her work “Kokonotsu no yūjo” (“The Ninth Friendship”). She debuted a year later in the shoujomanga magazine Margaret with “Ringo no tsumi” (“The Apple’s Sin”) at the age of eighteen.

"Man, I've got so much free time during winter break, what should I do?" And so, following this thought, I decided to watch 10 movies, forming a whole decade. I'll list what I watched, with a small summary and review for each!

1980 - Toward the Terra, the Humans and Mu are fighting, but eventually the greater foe, the huge world controlling computer system, and win. I liked how all of the characters changed and stayed affected by things that happened to them. A solid 9/10, and a good general recommendation!

1981 - Mobile Suit Gundam I, Humans fighting with big robot suits, Gundam, but war is hell. I'm sorry Gundam fans, but this movie to me was way too long and repetitive, I feel like it could have been two smaller movies. 5/10

1982 - Space Adventure Cobra The Movie, Cobra's just a guy fighting with his cool psycho gun, and he is always smoking a cigar. I didn't realize it was a power fantasy until he was surrounded by women and lots of people were in love with him, but still pretty good! 5.5/10

1983 - Crusher Joe, space fights and conspiracy! Really good, my other favorite of what I watched, and a solid 9/10!

1984 - Birth, humans vs inorganics, I did not really understand or like this movie, but I feel like it was more than likely pretty influential. 6/10

1985 - Fight!! Iczer-One, battling space aliens for the sake of the earth. I love the designs and horror elements, but I hate how Iczer treated her partner so that made it hard to watch for me. 6/10

1986 - Call Me Tonight, whenever he's turned on, he turns into a horrific monster for a little bit. Honestly? A fantastic, cute romcom were I liked both characters, plot, and design! 7.5/10

1987 - Laughing Target, is she a stalker, obsessed, or possesed? It's all three, and makes for a really good horror movie. 7/10

1988 - Appleseed, humanity fighting for a right to their future against a place with no room for them. I didn't really like it, but the Devilman level dub with all the added swears was pretty funny. 5.5/10

1989 - Demon Hunter Makaryūdo, devils vs humans and a fight for humanities future. Holy shit the harpy designs are really funny, and s pretty solid movie. 7/10

Sorry for the long post, and sorry if I didn't like your favorite movie. I might do this again for the 90s, but ten movies in five days is a lot so I'm tired. On a side note, it's really hard to find lists of all movies per year, and for some reason there were so many movies that I wanted to watch from 1986 so maybe I'll have another huge post about that year alone.
