Suzue Miuchi (美内すずえ, Miuchi Suzue, born February 20, 1951) is a Japanese manga artist and author of long-running shōjo manga Glass Mask.

Life

She was born in Nishinomiya, Japan and grew up in Osaka. She lived nearby a rental bookstore (kashi-hon) in her childhood and started drawing manga herself, when she had too many unpaid bills at a rental bookstore and her mother forbid her to continue reading manga. Miuchi made her professional debut as a manga artist in 1967, aged only 16, with the manga Yama no Tsuki to Kodanuki in the shōjo magazine Margaret. Her early debut as a highschool-aged manga artist inspired Yukari Ichijo to start a professional career as a manga artist at the time. She became famous for publishing short stories in the early 1970s, among them also horror manga.^[1] Her 1975 short story Shiroi Kagebōshi is considered a classic of shōjo horror manga.^[2]

Her biggest success came in 1976, when she began the long-running and ongoing series Glass Mask (Glass no Kamen) about a girl becoming a famous theater actress. The manga has been adapated into a stage play, a live-action TV series and an anime series.^[1]

She won the Kodansha Manga Award (1982) for Youkihi-den^[3] and the Japan Cartoonists Association Award (1995) for Glass Mask.
