Taiwanese artist gains popularity at Brussels book fair

Taiwanese manga artist "Monday Recover," also known as Shih Chia-yu, gained significant attention at the Foire du Livre book fair in Brussels. Her four French-translated comic books attracted many visitors during the event from March 13-16. Shih participated in a forum where she discussed her inspirations and the "girls' love" genre, which has a dedicated following. She noted a shift in storytelling towards happier endings in this niche, which she plans to continue exploring. This year marks the second collaboration between the French manga service mangas.io and Taiwan's Creative Content Agency to promote Taiwanese comics. The growing interest in diverse manga genres in France presents opportunities for Taiwanese creators to reach new audiences.
