She is a manga comic artist, April Xia Da (夏達), is a very famous comic celebrity from China. She is one of the rare breed talented manga comics artist who also made it to the covers of magazines due to her comic-like cute looks.
So many famous manga artists around the world, April Xia Da (夏达) is one of them. but her popularity could also be attributed to her innocent and attractive image. She lives in the city of Hangzhou in the Zhejiang province of mainland China; despite her face and school uniform. Xia Da’s pen name is “April”. Born April 4, 1981, her look is much younger than her real age. In her free time, April Xia Da loves to read comics and surprisingly, play computer games...!!!
Xia Da began drawing cartoon and publishing her work when she was in high school. In 2008, her work Zi Bu Yu《子不语》was awarded the gold medal in the 5th Golden Dragon Award. In 2009, Zi Bu Yu was strongly recommended by both a noted Japanese cartoonist Matsui Eimoto (松井荣元) and Shigeki Yukio (茂木行雄), the chief editor of the largest publisher in Japan, Shueisha Inc. As of now, Zi Bu Yu《子不语》has been published in the top Japanese cartoon magazine Ultra Jump for more than a year. Zi Bu Yu is the first original manga created by a Chinese artist, and entered into the Japanese market with popularity.
Zi Bu Yu tells a story that entails many Chinese traditional cultures. A nine year old girl moves into a mountain with her parents; she watches the world from a kid’s perspective. The story conveys a theme that people should respect others and the nature. A Chinese cartoonist, Yao Fei La (姚非拉) described Zi Bu Yu as a really touching and inspiring story; although it’s a serious topic, Xia Da handled it well in a genuine and pure way. Another Japanese cartoonist Kinjoo (金城) said Zi Bu Yu is a Chinese story with a Japanese artistic expression.
During the time Zi Bu Yu《子不语》was published in Ultra Jump, Xia Da did not gain much publicity. Only until recently, when her pictures were shown online, she immediately became Japanese’s favorite. Her fans think she is prettier than many movie stars. Yao Fei La, who helped published Zi Bu Yu, said the wide publicity of Xia Da because of the exposed photos is not what they originally wanted. However, if this helps Zi Bu Yu getting more audience and let more people understand the tremendous effort Xia Da put on her work, this publicity can turn out to be a gift.
