Mitei Hattori
Mitei Hattori made his serialized debut with Smile!, a human drama about a grieving writer drawn into a religious group that preaches the power of smiling. Working like a film storyboard artist, he pares back dialogue and lets faces carry the story. The series concluded in Japan in 11 volumes, and a live-action adaptation is in development.
