Les frères Matsumoto ont eu un impact majeur sur le manga et ont tous deux rencontré le succès au Japon et à l'étranger. Bien que je préfère l'art de Taiyo, Leiji n'est pas en reste ! En fait, je le soupçonne d'être le plus célèbre des deux frères et il a certainement conquis le plus de lecteurs grâce à ses séries « Le Battleship Yamato », « Galaxy Express 999 » et « Pirate Captain Harlock», largement diffusées à l'international. Cette page est tirée d'un titre moins connu et d'un spin-off de la série Yamato. Réalisé en 1993, ce manga a également été adapté en anime. J'aime les lignes délicates et les figures féminines de Leiji. Bien que je ne connaisse pas le contexte de cette page, elle illustre parfaitement son style et son esthétique. On ne peut s'empêcher de penser à l'œuvre de Yoshito Amano et à l'influence possible de l'un sur l'autre, Matsumoto ayant presque 15 ans de plus.
The brothers Matsumoto have had a major impact on manga and both have found success both in Japan and abroad. Although I prefer the art of Taiyo, Leiji is no slouch! In fact, I suspect he is the more famous of the two brothers and certainly found more viewers with his Battleship Yamato, Galaxy Express 999 and Pirate Captain Harlock series getting a lot of airplay internationally. This page is from a lesser known title and a spin-off of the Yamato series. Done in 1993, this manga series was also turned into anime. I like Leija's delicate lines and female figures. Although I don't know the context of this page, it is great example of his style and aesthetics. You can't help thing about Yoshito Amano's work and the possible influence one may have had on the other with Matsumoto being almost 15 years the senior.

About Leiji Matsumoto
Leiji Matsumoto (松本零士 Matsumoto Reiji, born Akira Matsumoto (松本晟), January 25, 1938 in Kurume, Fukuoka, Japan) is a well-known creator of several anime and manga series. His wife Miyako Maki is also a manga artist.
Matsumoto is famous for his space operas such as Space Battleship Yamato. His style is characterized by tragic heroes; tall, slender, fragile-looking heroines with strong wills and in some cases, god-like powers; and a love of analog gauges and dials in his spacecraft.
