Reiko Shimizu has always been a very controversial cartoonist. Since the debut of her short story "Three Crossroads", her short stories have been praised by readers of all kinds for their meticulous production and clever story arrangements.
While her full-length works, "Moonlight Love", "Alien Dragon" and "Kaguya Princess" were well received, they were also criticized by many readers.
Especially for "Kaguya Princess", many readers criticized its story clues for being too complicated and its setting arrangements for the future world to be quite unreasonable.
Therefore, in Kodansha’s annual Shoujo Manga Awards, Reiko Shimizu’s long-form works often get the honor of being nominated for the grand prize, but they always miss out on the grand prize in the end and leave with regrets.

And her elegant and elegant painting style has fascinated countless readers.
Another characteristic of Reiko Shimizu's works is that they are full of fantasy, and most of them are science fiction in nature.
The most rare thing is that her science fiction-themed works are not like many girls' comics that just use science fiction as a cover and are full of flaws.
The stories of Reiko Shimizu's science fiction-themed works are quite rigorous, and the machines, plants, and technologies displayed in her works have reasonable settings. This rigorous style is also reflected in her stories.
For most comic works, you can almost guess the ending after seeing the beginning, but Qingmizu's works are full of twists and turns, and it is difficult to guess what kind of ending she plans to have until you read the last page.
This is the charm of Shimizu's comics, and it is also the reason why all kinds of readers who have a lot of controversy about Shimizu's works will read her works to the end.
In 2001, in addition to the completed second part of "Secret" and the still serialized "Kaguya Princess", the mysterious Reiko Shimizu has not yet announced what masterpieces she will release in the new century. As readers, we can only
