Chinese mangaka Xià Dá (夏達, or Ka Tatsu as it is rendered in Japanese) has amazed Japanese manga fans by dint of sheer cuteness.
She lives in the city of Hangzhou in the Zhejiang province of mainland China; despite her face and school uniform, she is 28-years-old.
A number of her works are currently available in Japanese, and currently she is serialised in Ultra Jump. A sampling seems to demonstrate she is not lacking in talent either:
Reactions, unanimously approving, range from “She’s a mangaka? Impossible” to “She’s certainly got the kind of face you creepy otaku are into.”
She seems to have a very promising career ahead of her, especially if she keeps wearing a schoolgirl outfit.
She is chinese … And She automatically can’t be a Mangaka … No matter how cute or talented She is !
I’ve seen other photos (unedited) of her elsewhere. She actually looks a lot older than those photos posted.
The little bit of grey hair around her ears is cute.
wooaa… with a kind of face and her skill as mangaka like that…. she’s so scarry man… she’s beyond our world, time cant affect her, maybe she’s manga herself, lol
This is china we’re talking about, she’s probably a stand in like that singing girl from the olympics.
28 haha xD
looks like a 7th grader <.<
