A few days ago, the Japanese comic book artist Takahashi Rumiko, who is famous for the work Inuyasha, Ranma ½, and Urusei Yatsura, got the Harvey Award and was inducted into the Harvel Awards Hall of Fame. She is the first Japanese artist to be awarded since Tezuka Osamu, the creator of Astro Boy and Black Jack, got the award in 2010.
Harvey Award is an achievement award founded in 1988 for comic books, and it's one of the most symbolic awards of such category in the US.
Takahashi san shared the news on Twitter and said that "It's such an honor, and it's important that people can interact with each other through comic books in this difficult Corona Virus disaster. I hope my little work can be the peace of mind of everyone."
Kudos to Takahashi Rumiko!
