The source for fantastical shojo
Arina Tanemura loves music—so much so that she spends her workdays singing, drawing inspiration for her stories from the melodies of her favorite songs (thus the musical themes in Full Moon and the chanting in I•O•N). And not only does she let her real life influence her characters, she lets her characters influence her! With an active imagination, Tanemura often pictures her characters as real people, developing storylines by putting herself in her characters' shoes. Simply put: she lives and breathes shojo. It's this ability to identify with her characters and readers that makes Tanemura one of the world's most popular artists and a favorite among fans.
