Misako Rocks! developed a love for comics and manga at an early age and drew her first comic at the age of 13. She moved to New York in 2001 and worked as a a puppeteer, face painter, animal balloon maker, and art teacher while still developing her own work. Her first break came when the Onion decided to use her illustrations for their now famous \u201cSavage Love\u201d column, which runs every week. Shortly thereafter, Misako scored a two-book deal with Hyperion, a three-book deal with Henry Holt and a writing gig for Archie comics. Misako has been featured in many magazines and newspapers, including Elle Girl and the New York Times. The BBC, NHK and TV Asahi also featured her in a documentary about her comic book life. She was selected as one of outstanding Japanese artists in NY and invited to meet Japanese prime minister Abe and the first lady. She\u2019s currently working on a new manga book with Kobunsha publisher in Tokyo.<\/p>\n
