2013 Miss Universe Japan's Yukimi Matuso is a Manga Artist!


Meet Yukimi Matsuo, Japan's representative to the Miss Universe beauty pageant is not just a model, but she is also a manga artist!

Matsuo is a model for 8 years while she does her manga work on the side. The reason why she joined the pageant is because of her hope to spread the love of Japanese manga to the world.

Prior to joining Miss Universe, her manga was about to be picked up by a website, but she had to put the project on hold since she passed the pageant's selection process. She says the website said that they will wait until the contest is over for her manga to be published.

Growing up, it was always easy for her to express her feelings by drawing instead of words and her family always complimented her work. As for us men, she says her ideal type of man is someone who is into manga. Her ideal man is Hunter x Hunter's Leorio Paladinight.
