Description
I went through an anime/manga period some time ago where I was influenced by artists like Osamu Tezuka and Rumiko Takahashi. This particular sketch of schoolgirls is inspired by the work of Azuma Hideo who is little known outside a small legion of his fans.Related content

Actually an accurate pic of how Japanese schoolgirls dress, note the longer skirts and knee socks and not the mini skirt panty flashing creations of what passes for Anime these days. Don't get me wrong, I like the short skirted versions but this is more factual.

Do you know where could I get some more Hideo's works?

It's been years since I collected Azuma Hideo's mangas. Years ago I used to order from a bookstore in Hawaii who shipped them to me. Haven't seen much of his art lately. I checked the site where I download translated mangas and found one. His autobiographical "Disappearance Diary" which you can download from here: [link]
I think you have to register to download. His older manga is harder to find. I remember there being a large manga store in San Diego and one in Los Angeles. You can ask around in forums where mangas are discussed like Manga Traders.

Thank you for help, I heard a lot about "Disappearance Diary" which even was realeased in Poland, but never found one. I also remember that there was a "Little Pollon" anime emited at Italian TV stations. "Nanako SOS" is another example. I only get soundtracks of it. Asked even people from chans, but they seem to don't know. Also would like to know from where is that girl at the background [link] . Just love his style, and want to see more, and more.

I have the first volume of the Little Poron manga somewhere in my collection. I have a few other of his other mangas much of which is with my manga collection in storage. As for the background picture I don't know the character but it could be a one off illustration for a magazine. As for the animated image in your avatar, I recognize it as one of the characters in his Pretty Gals series. I have the manga she appears in.

Hmm never heard about Pretty Gals, could you tell me more?

The Pretty Gal series are short comics each about a different girl. There are about 6 of these reprinted in the collection I have titled "High Power Doll". This book collects many of his shorter series which were published in the monthly magazines. Other collections I have are Yakekuso Tenshi, Futarito Go Nin, Scrap Gakuen, and Orinposuno Poron, and Chokin. These are small pocket sized books.

I must say, they definitely have that Tetsuwan Atomu-type of art style.

They're very cute, Herb-sama. That's about all I could say.
