Manga artist Junko Mizuno will be signing copies of her latest work, “Fluffy Little Gigolo PELU,” at the New People center starting TOMORROW – August 22nd – at 2:00 PM.
If you’re unfamiliar with Ms. Mizuno’s works, she is known for her unusual blending of childish cutesy sweetness and – blood and terror!!! This style, known as “Gothic kawaii” or “kawaii noir” can be seen in her works, including “Hell Babies, “Cinderella-chan,” and “Pure Trance.” She also draws the eyecatch art for the BBC program “Japanorama.” Her latest work, “Fluffy Little Gigolo PELU,” chronicles the story of PELU, a cute alien, as he searches for a bride on Earth.
