Kazuma Kodaka
is a Japanese manga artist. Kodaka made her debut in 1989 in the magazine ''Weekly Shōnen Champion'' with ''Sessa Takuma!''. She mainly writes manga in the Boys Love genre, featuring homosexual relationships between men for women, and has been described as "a pioneer and top-ranked artist" in the genre. She decided to enter the Boys Love genre as a result of reading parody manga with yaoi themes, finding them "more interesting" than regular ''shōjo'' manga and more psychologically complex than ''shōnen'' manga. She has also written many ''dojinshi'' which are famous, but difficult to obtain, from the series ''Prince of Tennis'', ''Fullmetal Alchemist'', ''Hikaru no Go'', '' Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo'' and ''Slam Dunk''. She designed the characters for the ''My Sexual Harassment'' OVA. She taught herself how to draw, but one of her design influences is Rumiko Takahashi.

A is a comic artist who writes and/or illustrates manga. As of 2006, about 3,000 professional manga artists were working in Japan. Most manga artists study at an art college or manga school or take on an apprenticeship with another artist before entering the industry as a primary creator.

For example, Naoko Takeuchi, author of '' Sailor Moon'', won a Kodansha Manga Award contest and manga pioneer Osamu Tezuka was first published while studying an unrelated degree, without working as an assistant. A manga artist will rise to prominence through recognition of their ability when they spark the interest of institutions, individuals or a demographic of manga consumers. For example, there are contests which prospective manga artist may enter, sponsored by manga editors and publishers. This can also be accomplished through producing a one-shot. While sometimes a stand-alone manga, w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
