The Vision
It is said that the author, Keiko Takemiya, received her inspiration for Kaze to Ki no Uta and designed the full plot in a single night. She then told her friend Norie Masuyama of the planned story and, following the publication of the manga, the two collaborated on a novel which provided a second half to the story, Kami no Kohitsuji (神の子羊?, lit. Agnus Dei or the Lamb of the God), by Noris Haaze (a pen name of Masuyama).

Famous quotes containing the word vision:
“I want you to consider this distinction as you go forward in life. Being male is not enough; being a man is a right to be earned and an honor to be cherished. I cannot tell you how to earn that right or deserve that honor. . . but I can tell you that the formation of your manhood must be a conscious act governed by the highest vision of the man you want to be.”
—Kent Nerburn (20th century)
“Would not some lightning flash of vision sear people’s consciousness into life again? What was the good of stopping the war if armies continued?”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
