The short story "Half-Blood God" by Moto Hagio, a manga artist who has been compared to Leonardo da Vinci and is even more of a perfect creator, is a shocking work.
It is not a manga that expands the boundaries of shoujo manga, but rather is innovative and profound in its subject matter, intent, and expression.
The creator himself spoke about this work at a lecture in Italy (included in the book "My Shojo Manga Lecture" in Shincho Bunko), so creators of the world should read it carefully.

 Secondary expressions have been made in various forms such as theater and film, but here, for the first time, an operatic version was permitted.
Although I am not confident of surpassing the original work, I would like you to see how close I was able to get to it.
Urikohime no Yoru" (original title "Urikohime to Amanjaku") by Daijiro Morohoshi, an isolated manga artist of the same age as Mr. Hagio, is being performed again for the first time in three years.
This time, the play is set in an elementary school in the Heisei era, a departure from the first performance (which was attended by the two manga artists), which tried to be faithful to the original work.
This time, the play is set in an elementary school in the Heisei period, and I am wondering how far I can get away from the spell of the original work, like the Monkey King in the palm of Buddha.
