Miki Hayasaka

His Maiko! series has been called a "hard bishōjo Sazae-san". His last work, Maiko! Final Run, was published in November 1989. He has since become a salaryman, and no longer publishes in the manga industry.

In August 1980, Hayasaka released his dōjinshi Fritha. In April of the following year, he was put in charge of the "My Anime Jockey" section of the first issue of My Anime, and in January 1982, he made his professional manga debut with Hara Hara Fairy in the magazine Ryū [ja]. Hayasaka is most well known for being a major artist in the lolicon manga boom in the late 1970s and 1980s. He has had stories published in lolicon magazines such as Manga Burikko, Alice Club, and Fusion Product, as well as the long-running Petit Apple Pie manga anthology.
