And Onoko, now an accomplished herbalist and gardener, would smile knowingly, her eyes twinkling with the magic of the seeds, as she tended to her beloved Onoko Honpo – the sacred garden that had brought her so much joy and purpose.
Honpo's contributions to the manga industry have not gone unnoticed. She has been nominated for several awards, including the prestigious Shogakukan Manga Award, and has been featured in various manga anthologies and exhibitions.
