Writer[]
In the early nineties amateur athletes have decreased. Morisue, concerned about the phenomenon of the moment, wrote the scenarios for the sports manga Ganba! Fly High, based in part on his experiences as a gymnast, for which he and the illustrator Hiroyuki Kikuta received the 1998 Shogakukan Manga Award for shōnen manga.[5]
