Poe no Ichizoku (Poe's Clan or Poe's Family) by Hagio Moto


"Poe no Ichizoku" is a classic 70's manga series that had a huge impact on the current yaoi mangas. The series was actually voted the 7th in the top 50 best mangas by the Japanese readers.

I'm not sure if Poe no Ichizoku (1972) is the first shounen-ai series ever but it did preceed The Song of Wind and Tree by a few years. The 4-volume series are broken into short stories that all revolve around Edgar, a 14-year-old vampire who never grows old. It has tons of angst. And really really beautiful art. (And if you're into it, awesome page layouts!) It took me a while to get used to the old school art style but now I love it very much^^ *sighs*

hello ^^ after many many manymany years, i went to check out matt-thorn.com for updates (i used to spend time there reading anthopological essays on shoujo manga when i was interested in june in the likes of takemiya keiko and hagio moto). so an interview of hagio moto was translated and is avaliable here, which made me curious to come back to livejournal and perform an interests' check on her. so i found you.

and now i find poe no ichizou was scanlated. thank you! i'm soooooo happy

best wishes and a happy new year

hello again. until now i didn't notice you're familiar with matt thorn's site, you're even on the message board. do you use microsoft messenger, or any other? i'd love that we could chat sometime, and perhaps i could ask you, as a biiiiig favour and both xmas and birthday presents, to send me scans of the hagio-sama article? then i could send you the artwork i have withouth having to flood hagio_keiko community and, well, we could choose what to post in there. it would be really great.

best wishes
