On the afternoon of August 27, according to the editorial office of Japan's Ribon, cherry, the author of "Cherry Pills", died of breast cancer on the 15th of this month at the age of 53.
Cherry, whose real name is Miura Yoshiki, was born in 1965 and officially debuted in 1984. In 1986, she began using the pen name Cherry and used her childhood experiences as a source of creation to draw the manga "Cherry Pills", which was loved by readers and later made into an anime. Cherry gives the protagonist the same name, even including blood type and constellation. However, Cherry is reluctant to show her life too much to the public, and even there are few photos of her on the Internet.
Mentioning "Cherry Pills", it can be said that it is the memory of a generation, and I believe that most people will not feel strange. The little maruko in the manga is a cute little girl with bangs, a doll's head, and red cheeks. She likes to sleep late and doesn't like to do homework, but she is silly and cute. It's like our childhood selves, with crooked eyebrows and innocent eyes.
On December 31, 2011, the 25-year-old manga version of Cherry Pills was announced. However, there was also a theatrical version of "Cherry Pills: Teenagers from Italy" that was released on September 23, 2016 in Chinese mainland, and the childhood memories of Pills as a generation can be said to bring us happiness and surprises again and again.
