About this author

Chica Umino (羽海野 チカ, Umino Chika) is a manga-ka (comic artist/cartoonist) who was born in Tokyo, Japan. She began work as a product designer and illustrator. Her most notable work to date is her 'beloved' Honey and Clover, a 'slice of life' manga series which debuted in 2000 in Shueisha's manga magazine, CUTiEcomic.

Umino has a unique drawing style, listing Studio Ghibli amongst her influences, and her characters are remarkably well-developed.

It is very rare for a manga-ka to use his or her real name, and Chica Umino is a pen-name. In keeping with the trend for using something special to the individual in developing a pen-name, Umino's is styled after the name of an amusement park by the sea.

Her work has become popular overseas (America)...more


Chica Umino isn't a Goodreads Author (yet), but she does have a blog, so here are some recent posts imported from her feed.

“...when I was little...I was out riding my brand-new blue bicycle...when I decided to see how far I could keep going...without looking back even once.
I could feel with my back how my neighborhood was receding...further and further away...but I kept pedaling with all my might, my mind almost going blank. All I could hear was the sound of my own heart...thumping wildly in my ears. Even now, I remember it sometimes. What exactly...was I trying to do that day? What was it...that I wanted to prove...?

...it's no good. My mind just keeps fogging over. I have this irritating sound stuck in my head. What is it? This sound... Ohh. I know what it is.
This is... the sound of emptiness.”
Chica Umino, Honey and Clover, Volume 7

“It's okay to spin around and around in the same place. Just so long as you're singing your heart out.
THAT's what life's all about.”
Chica Umino, Honey and Clover, Volume 4

“No need for everyone to look the same.
The secret is to wear what suits you best!”
Chica Umino, Honey and Clover, Volume 4
