My Take

Anna Hollmann interests me as living proof of how far manga has traveled. A German artist who began drawing in 2003 and broke through in Animexx's Manga Mix, she works in a Japanese-born idiom rather than a strictly Western comics tradition. Her 2009 series Stupid Story leans into shonen-ai, a genre aimed largely at young women, and her several Sondermann Awards mark her as a genuine talent rather than a hobbyist. I love stories like hers because they show culture circulating and being reborn abroad. A German drawing manga for German readers is the whole globalized charm of the medium in one person.

Overview

Anna Hollmann (born 1983) is a German comic book artist. She drew her first stories in 2003 and soon afterwards was published in Animexx's Manga Mix. Her series Stupid Story appeared in 2009; it is of the shonen-ai or "boy love" genre which is mainly targeted at young women. She has received several Sondermann Awards for her work.
