(Continued from Part III)Mizutama:
Ah, well, let us get back on track here—I think between Dick and Varley on the timeline was William Gibson. Have you read him?
Hagio:
I don't like so-called Cyberpunk and I haven't read any [of his stuff] yet.
Sakai:
So, like "Kirinyaga," you actually like SciFi that externally feels like traditional SciFi.
Hagio:
That's right.
Sakai:
How about the stuff with tons of space aliens?
Hagio:
I like that, too. For that, what I like best is a manga called "Number 7" by Osamu Tezuka.
Sakai:
Speaking of space aliens, I don't recall any shojo manga that were filled with strange space aliens.
Mizutama:
How about "They Were Eleven?" There were a lot of them.
Sakai:
Yes, but they were all basically humanoids. Nothing really strange.
