Kyoto Seika University
is a Japanese manga artist and the previous president of Kyoto Seika University. She resides in Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture. She is included in the Year 24 Group, a term coined by academics and critics to refer to a group of female authors in the early 1970s who helped transform "shōjo" manga (girls' comics) from being created primarily by male authors to being created by female authors. As part of this group, Takemiya pioneered a genre of girls' comics about love between young men. In December 1970, she published a short story titled "Sanrūmu Nite" ("In the Sunroom") in "Bessatsu Shōjo Comic", which is possibly the first "shōnen-ai" manga ever published and contains the earliest known male-male kiss in "shōjo" manga.
