[la_vie_noire]

Ooku wins James Tiptree Award. It's the first time a manga has won. Ooku has also was "recipient of special prize at The Japanese Association of Feminist Science Fiction and Fantasy's fifth annual Sense of Gender awards (2005), Excellence Award for manga at Japan Media Arts Festival (2006), and Grand Prize in Osamu Tezuka Cultural Prize (2009)".
