Phantom Thieves, Magical Idols, and Strong Heroines: The Legacy of Tanemura Arina
Shoujo manga artist Tanemura Arina might be best known for magical girl stories, but that wasn’t her original plan. In the chat column for her manga Full Moon O Sagashite, she mentions, “I’ve always wanted to draw an ordinary story. When I made my debut, I didn’t intend to draw fantasies at all.” However, no matter her early plans, the author, illustrator, and character designer has created some of manga’s best-loved shoujo works by combining the aesthetics of fantasy aimed at young girls with complex themes.
Tanemura began her manga career at the young age of 18 in 1996 when her short story “Niban Me no Koi no Katachi” debuted in Ribon Original magazine. Her early one-shots garnered a lot of praise, and she received about 500 fan letters after her first publication. Tanemura channeled the thoughts and feelings she had gone through fairly recently as an adolescent into stories her young readers could relate to, and described herself as “a delinquent student who would work on manuscripts during class.”
One year later, she released her first series, I.O.N. The story follows Tsuburagi Ion, who has always recited the letters of her first name for luck and one day finds the letters activate her telekinesis. I.O.N. established many of the hallmarks of Tanemura’s work: complicated love triangles; girls who encounter a magical element in their lives; and a tragedy they need to overcome, leading to acceptance and self-actualization.
