TAMURA Yumi, creator of the extremely popular fantasy series, BASARA, taken in December, '95, at the year-end party of Bessatsu Shôjo Comic, a popular shôjo manga magazine. Well, I never got a chance to actually talk to Tamura...I just sat at the table next to hers and shamelessly took pictures of her. ^^;;; Incidentally, she is drawing an autograph for a rookie manga artist (still in high school!) who is also under the Bessatsu Shôjo Comic umbrella.
