This month's issue of Flowers celebrates the 30-year career of Taeko Watanabe.  After hits like Family and Hajime-chan ga Ichiban!, a friend in a theater troupe took her to see a play, Kaze o Tsugu Mono.  She was moved by the passionate, sincere production, which sent a non-history fan into the challenge of doing an historical story!  Check out our download for chapter 138 for a full retrospective of Watanabe-sensei's career, including some images from Kaze o Tsugu Mono!  

Don't forget to support Watanabe-sensei and Kaze Hikaru by purchasing KH in Japanese or when it's available in your language.  Here in the US, we have volume 13 out this month, so check it out!   The artbook is also very, very lovely and available at several online stores, along with her earlier works in Japanese.  Thank you Watanabe-sensei for bringing us the tales of Sei and the Shinsengumi!
