No Longer Heroine

23

KoMamoda creates characters based on real people or her own experiences. She aims to reveal the darker sides of her characters by using dark backgrounds and depicting hysterical eyes. Even in love stories, her magazine is often drawn in a comedic style. 

Even though the magazine is printed only in black and white, readers can still grasp the characters' emotions through her detailed artwork. She uses techniques such as zooming in on the eyes or capturing scenes from a wide-angle perspective. Since her stories are based on personal experiences, readers can easily immerse themselves in the narrative and relate to the characters' situations.
