I was quite surprised to find out Takagi Shigeyoshi is a female (because of her masculine pen name). Then I also found out that she has a twin sister, who's also a mangaka (Morie Satoshi). From their manga covers, the art do look pretty similar. Both draw shoujo and work with the same publisher.

So, I'm just curious. 😎
Are there many other mangaka twins/siblings out there?

• Is there much resemblance in their arts?
• Do they tend to write similar genres?
• Is one of them is more 'sucessful' than the other?

Some other names I've come across:

• Kusunoki Kei and Oohashi Kaoru

• Muroyama Mayumi is a joint pen name of sisters Mayumi and Mariko.

KISHIMOTO Masashi and KISHIMOTO Seishi

There is art resemblance and work around the same demographics, but I guess there are some differences as well.

This week's favorites:

• Golden Kamui

Kano Shiuko and UCHIDA Kazuna.

Hmm, couldn't remember any siblings other than one's that were previously mentioned, but I do know that Kayono's mother is Takashima Kazusa.

EDIT: Just found out Adachi Mitsuru (creator of Touch) had an older brother who made a couple obscure series in Japan.

LOOK AT MY WITTY SIG!!11!!!!11

Kayono's mom is Ide Chikae. Takashima Kazusa is the mangaka she blatantly and shamelessly plagiarized from.
