 Stop ! ! Hibari @-@ kun ! is written and illustrated by Hisashi Eguchi . Following the conclusion of his manga <unk> <unk> ( <unk> ) in 1981 , Eguchi wanted to go against the notion at the time that there was currently a golden age of romantic comedy manga in <unk> manga magazines . In response , Eguchi thought of creating a romantic comedy manga where the main female character is a cross @-@ dressing boy , and in doing so , poke fun at the genre by developing it as the antithesis of a romantic comedy . Eguchi drew up the storyboard for the first chapter in about 30 minutes in a cafe , and came up with the title Stop ! ! Hibari @-@ kun ! as a reference to Hisashi <unk> 's manga Stop ! <unk> @-@ <unk> ( ストップ ! <unk> ) . In wanting to highlight the comedy of having a character like Hibari , Eguchi realized that the <unk> he could draw Hibari , the more effective the jokes would be , so he tried to draw Hibari as cute as he could .
