Quattordici anni fa ci lasciava Caterina Cantone, detta Cathy, otaku della prima ora e grandissima fan di Lady Oscar, oltre che gattara, autrice, collezionista. Una persona che conobbi grazie alla mia lettera pro anime uscita sul Radiocorriere TV nella primavera del 1990 e con cui passai anni a corrispondere via posta, inviandole anche un libro che cercava da tanto tempo, Chère Marie Antoinette di Jean Chalon. Poi iniziammo a sentirci via telefono e con l’avvento di Internet fondò la famosa mailing list in tema e il club.
Purtroppo non l’ho mai incontrata, per vari motivi, e me ne dispiace molto, ma sono fiera di aver collaborato con lei ai suoi progetti su Oscar, e in un certo senso porto avanti questa passione anche in suo onore.
Voglio ricordarla con un suo lavoro, la storia Leggenda di una Rosa, una fanfiction diventata fumetto grazie a Elena Liberati e Laura Luzi, che fu pubblicata sulle riviste Japan Time e My anime, e che prima o poi omaggerò con un romanzo. Grazie Cathy, io ti immagino con i nostri Oscar e André, perché dall’altra parte ci sono senz’altro anche i nostri eroi.
