No.6：Tsukasa Oshima
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
Shute!” which was serialized in “Weekly Shonen Magazine”. Mr. Tsukasa Oshima is the author of
This is a manga about soccer, and the match scenes are very powerful. The powerful depiction of the game scenes are very powerful and it does not feel strange to say that it is drawn by a man.
One of the reasons why it did not turn out to be a woman is that Mr. Oshima thoroughly played a male character.
He changed his pen name to a male name so that readers wouldn’t be turned off by the fact that it was drawn by a woman. He also made his self-portraits male and consistently used Boku as his first person.
If he was so thorough, everyone would think he was a man, wouldn’t they?
No.7: Mitsuro Kubo
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
Kubo Mitsuro is the author of “Moteki”.
Moteki” is about an unattractive soshokukei-kei male character. The desire of men to be popular is expressed in the story. The author’s desire is portrayed in the play, and there may be a part of the author’s self-projection. Many readers thought it was a good idea.
It would be difficult to imagine a woman from the content and the name “Mitsuro”. It’s a fine, delicate picture with thin lines, so isn’t it a politeness unique to women? Some readers seemed to have seen through it.
No.8: Demizu Posuka
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
Promise Never Land” is serialized in “Weekly Shonen Jump”. The writer is Mr. Posuka Demizu, who is in charge of the animation.
It’s a neutral name that both men and women would feel comfortable with.
What is surprising is the pictures that Ms. Demizu draws. In addition to using fine lines to depict delicate and delicate images, she can also use strong lines to depict enemies of evil. It’s hard to imagine the gender of the characters because of his skillful use of lines.
Since the series is published in “Weekly Shonen Jump”, some readers seem to have a misconception that he is a male.
No.9: Amako Sobe
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
Amako Sobe is the author of “Lakudai Ninja Rantaro”.
Many people may be able to imagine that it is the original work of the long-running anime “Nintama Rantaro” broadcast on NHK.
It is filled with comical gags, and it’s hard to imagine a woman drawing the manga from the pictures and content.
The name of the man who seems to appear in the story, “Sobe”, is also one of the points that can be easily misunderstood.
10：Kyu Hayashida
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
Mr. Kyu Hayashida, the author of “Doro Hedoro”.
It is full of elements that appeal to men, such as a dark worldview and character design. His drawings are characterized by strong lines and are often imagined to be drawn by men because of their brutality.
The series “The Great Dark,” which began serialization in 2019, also depicts a dark worldview, which is Hayashida-sensei’s specialty.
Summary
In this issue, I’ve compiled a list of 10 manga artists who are actually women.
I’m sure this is the first time for some of them to know that they are women.
Other than the 10 people who have appeared in this issue, are they actually women? Many cartoonists are considered to be the best in the world.
I can’t wait to see which cartoonist’s gender will be revealed next and shock readers.
