Life and career
Christy Lijewski was born in 1981 in
Baltimore, Maryland, United States.[1]
As a young girl, she wanted to study paleontology, but decided to be a cartoonist after reading a comic during her middle-school years.[2] A fan of American comic books, she enjoyed comics as an artistic medium, but did not feel a connection to the superhero stories.[3] She watched a copy of the magical girl anime (Japanese animated cartoon) Sailor Moon, and became interested in anime and manga (Japanese comics).[2]
She found manga appealing, because of the wide range of narrative genres.Sequential Art.[4]
Her short story "Doors" won a runner-up place in
Markesh
. She was then one of a few runner up artists to enter a deal publishing with Tokyopop, and has written RE:Play as an entirely new series for release.
