Some of the most popular shōjo manga of the era were produced by a group of female manga artists that would later be called the Year 24 Group. ![]() Female manga artists began producing a new type of shōjo manga that featured beautiful artwork, complicated storylines, romances between same-sex couples, characters who challenged their gender or sexual identity, and other narratives that had a powerful and long-lasting influence over many burgeoning manga creators and readers. Starting in the 1970s, manga featuring same sex or queer relationships began to see mainstream, commercial success within shojo manga. Internal conflicts take precedence over big action, so the struggles faced by queer characters over their own gender and sexual identities fit perfectly into this setup. Moto Hagio's The Heart of Thomas is an excellent example of this as it features lush artwork, lyrical prose, and primarily focuses on the relationships between young male students. With its heavy focus on romance and drama, shōjo manga focus more on interpersonal relationships, drama, and emotions. (For more information, check out our "A Beginner's Guide to Manga"). Shōjo refers to manga developed specifically for female readers. Her work was very popular and directly influenced the development of both shōjo and yuri manga in the decades that followed.
