Iguana Girl.
イグアナの娘
Iguana Girl (Japanese: イグアナの娘, Hepburn: Iguana no Musume; alternately translated as Daughter of the Iguana or Iguana Daughter) is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Moto Hagio. A 52-page one-shot (single chapter series) originally published in the manga magazine Petit Flower in 1992, the story follows a mother who rejects her daughter because she perceives her as an iguana; the daughter internalizes this rejection, and in turn comes to regard herself as an iguana. Iguana Girl is a semi-autobiographical story that reflects Hagio's own strained relationship with her mother, while also utilizing fantasy elements to comment on the role of women in post-war Japanese society.
