Hatori also created the shojo series, MILLENIUM SNOW (available from VIZ Media), which won the Outstanding Debut in the 26th Hakusensha Newcomers’ Awards. Bisco Hatori also enjoys reading all kinds of manga and is especially fond of the Saki Hiwatari’s sci-fi drama, PLEASE SAVE MY EARTH, and Takahiko Inoue’s basketball classic,SLAM DUNK, which are also published in North America by VIZ Media.
