For their first new manga release in years, Fantagraphics pulled out the stops with their deluxe hardcover edition of this collection of short stories by shojo manga pioneer Moto Hagio. Elegant, thought-provoking and sensitive, the stories in A Drunken Dream offer a tantalizing retrospective of the forty-plus years of Hagio's career.
A Drunken Dream was up against some stiff competition, facing off against numerous fan favorite creators like Osamu Tezuka, Natsume Ono and Fumi Yoshinaga. But in the end, A Drunken Dream rose to the top as the Best New One-Shot Manga of 2010.
