The Art of Hikari Shimoda Book Blue Angel

Enter the enchanting and disarming world of Hikari Shimoda, where cuteness and horror coexist. Inspired by the Japanese manga and anime of her youth, Shimoda uses colorful and illustrative techniques to convey contemporary issues in her work. Often depicting the starry eyes of children, she dresses her characters in heroic costumes reminiscent of Superman, and magical girls - an anime subgenre that depicts young girls who use magic - reveal the problems and struggles of modern society, combining brushwork, text and collage techniques. Such characters reflect the heroes of our fantasies, representing the desire of adults to protect the children of the world and protect the world we have created.
