A lifelong illustrator, You Someya comes from a family of comic artists. Their manga debut was accelerated after one of her sisters was published by an indie manga house.

You Someya

Intimidating a domineering personality like Ayame takes a strong will 
and potentially equally disturbing mind. So, after avoiding several 
direct confrontations, Ayame and her rope arts club are now being 
attacked by classmates who wish to see the student body vice-president 
fall from grace.

Yoshiyuki Tomino

In 1978 animation director Yoshiyuki Tomino set forth to change 
the Japanese animation industry. For decades prior, Japanese science 
fiction had churned out numerous tales of semi-autonomous robots that 
would often come to the aide of humanity, but as someone who worked on a
 number of those works, Tomino came to the realization that he wanted to
 see a more realistic robot narrative. His vision was one where the 
robot while just slightly more human in appearance, was utilized more as
 a tool manipulated by man. With renowned artist Yoshikazu Yasuhiko by 
his side, and occasionally as his artistic rival, Tomino would change 
the way the whole world came to see Japanese animation and the broader 
toy and comics industries built around it. This evolution would be a war
 in its own right! Battles were fought in the offices of the animation 
studio! Conflicts were equally as heated in the recording booth!
