Reverse Harem
In the year 2999, only eleven cities still survive on Earth. The climate has changed drastically, and a biochemical apocalypse has made women extinct. For centuries, the male population of Earth has survived by depending on only one woman, called the Holy Mother, whose ova are harvested to create genetically engineered children. By now, any concept of a world in which women exist as ordinary people is long gone. Society has re-structured itself around all-male families, and relationships between men and adolescent boys have become the norm. At the beginning of Marginal, the Holy Mother is assassinated by a terrorist known as Grinja. The government in power doesn't want to start a mass panic, so it pretends that the Holy Mother has only shed her vessel, and that she will be miraculously "reborn" in the near future. The public, which is superstitious and devout, believes this easily. Only government officials know that behind the scenes, there is a frantic effort to create a being able to give birth. The manga's story revolves around Kira, who becomes involved in a three-way relationship with Grinja, the aforementioned terrorist, and Ashijin, a young man who calls himself Kira's owner. A complex plot and flawless world-building make the story irresistible, and Kira's search for freedom is as symbolic as it is gripping.

Mesh
Drama
,
Psychological
,
Slice of Life
The story follows the life of a teenage boy named "Mesh," so-called for his unique "mesh"-colored hair: blonde with silver strands on the sides. It begins with a scene where Mesh, after being beaten, escapes from a mob and encounters Milon, a forger and painter. Mesh ends up staying at Milon’s house, and the two form an unlikely bond as they navigate life together. Each chapter is a poetic blend of crime, peaceful everyday moments, or the vibrant nightlife of artists in a fictionalized Paris. "Mesh" is regarded as one of Hagio Moto’s defining works, marking a pivotal shift in her artistic style. It was her first series to adopt a more realistic look while retaining the ethereal beauty characteristic of 1970s shōjo art. The story ventures into more mature themes while continuing to explore Hagio's recurring motifs, such as parent-child relationships and adolescence.

Having been admitted to Cosmo Academy, Frol and Tada are now having a rough time adjusting to a couple's life, with Tada regularly outperforming Frol in academics - and, to their chagrin, popularity. While the two try (and often fail) to navigate this change in relationship dynamic, they then receive a warm invitation from their old friend, King Mayan Baceska, to visit him at his palace on planet Aritosca Le during a month of holiday festivities. However, Tada's intuition begins to give him ominous and mysterious visions regarding King and the two set off to meet him, and potentially save him from an ill-omened future. Note: Most editions of "They Were 11!" Also include Horizon of the East, Eternity of the West. For the sake of clarity, this page uses the volume covers Horizon of the East, Eternity of the West received when it was separate. The official English translation that was released recently includes both.

The baron and his wife and their children, Edgar and Marybelle, exuded an elegance that was out of place in a country town. The sight of them was like looking at a perfect painting. In fact, their beauty was a magical beauty out of time. They were the "Poe's Clan", vampirnellas who consume human blood. The family rented a house on the outskirts of the city and began to search for someone to welcome into the clan, pretending to be human. Edgar was intrigued by Alan Twilight, the son of the city's foremost trader…… Award: Won the 21st Shogakukan Manga Award for Shoujo in 1976, which it shared with Hagio's other serial, They Were Eleven.
