was born on September 21 in Hachinohe, Aomori, but her age is not disclosed. Marimo Ragawa first started submitting manga to comic magazines when she was only 12 years old, which is when she was in 6th grade of elementary school. She continued to send her manga to the same magazine for four years, but a positive critical reception was yet to come. Ragawa then decided to switch to a different magazine. Surprisingly, her first submission to this magazine, ''Hana to Yume'', won a prize called the Top-prize (トップ賞). Two years later, she succeeded in achieving her debut with her first manga, ''Time Limit''. Marimo Ragawa continues to draw other manga such as ''Aka-chan to Boku'' (''Baby and Me''), ''New York New York'', and ''Itsudemo Otenki Kibun''. She received the 1995 Shogakukan Manga Award for shōjo for ''Baby and Me''. She continues to draw a tennis themed manga, ''Shanimuni-Go'' in ''Hana to Yume'' (Flowers and Dreams). Marimo Ragawa's calm and cute design is one of the traits of her drawings. Her energetic drawing and characters are very attractive, even to non-manga readers. She is widely known for her great ability in describing complicated emotions, especially in ''New York New York'' and ''Baby and Me''. Her manga ''Mashiro no Oto'' has been nominated for the 4th Manga Taishō. ==Works== *''Time Limit'' *''Baby and Me'' *''New York, New York'' (ja) *''Itsudemo Otenki Kibun'' *''Shanimuni-Go'' (ja) *''Mashiro no Oto'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marimo Ragawa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
