"Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Reasoning," serialized in the manga magazine app "Shonen Jump+," is known as a serious mystery. The story revolves around the duo of Ron Kamonohashi, a detective said to be a genius, and Isshiki Totsumaru, a goofy but passionate character. An anime adaptation is scheduled to air in October of this year, and is already generating a lot of buzz. But what kind of person is the author of such a popular work? In this article, we'd like to introduce the author from various angles!
Story Overview
Ron Kamonohashi was a promising detective at a detective training school, but he was banned from detective work due to a fatal flaw: his deductive reasoning often drove criminals to suicide. He then met Todomaru Isshiki of the First Investigative Division, and teamed up with him to once again embark on the path of deductive reasoning. They face a variety of challenging cases.
Author: Akira Amano
Akira Amano is the author of "Kamonohashi Ron's Forbidden Reasoning." Born in 1973, he is from Aichi Prefecture. He made his debut as a manga artist in 1998, winning Kodansha's "Tezuka Osamu Award Young Artist Division Outstanding Newcomer Award." This award is named after Tetsuya Chiba, the renowned manga artist best known for "Ashita no Joe." At first, he submitted his work to Young Magazine, but it didn't lead to serialization and his career was stagnant. He then serialized "Katekyo Hitman Reborn" in Shonen Jump, where it became a huge hit, even being adapted into an anime and a game. This work is known as Amano's signature work. Since 2013, he has been serializing "ElDlive" on Jump LIVE. While he struggled during his time in Young Magazine, it was wonderful to see his efforts being rewarded in Shonen Jump.
About Amano's Personality
He is known for his frequent interactions with other manga artists, especially with "Pyuu to Fuku!" He is known for his close ties with Kyosuke Usuta, the creator of "Jaguar." He has contributed illustrations and audio commentary to Usuta's manga volumes. He is also known for his close friendships with his assistants. However, Amano is the one who gets the most engrossed in conversation, so signs reading "No private conversations allowed during work" are posted throughout his workspace to prevent them from getting in the way of work. It's a rather playful anecdote that he seems to get even more engrossed in conversation than his assistants.
Actually, there are quite a few mysteries surrounding him?
While many manga artists share their personal photos or private details, Amano is famous for keeping absolutely nothing about himself private. His face photo is not publicly available, and in his comments section, he often discusses seasonal scenery, insects, and food, rarely discussing personal matters. However, he does publicly admit to owning a cat. Even his gender—male or female—is unclear. At first, I thought he was male, but since the name "Akira" is also used by women, it's impossible to say for sure. In fact, the online theory that he's female tends to be relatively prevalent. One reason for this is that his drawing style and writing style seem feminine. While the truth is unknown, perhaps Amano will make an announcement one day. There's also a rumor that he and his wife are actually manga artists, and that the name Amano Akira is a joint pen name for the couple. As such, he's a writer who has many fascinating theories.
Author Introduction Summary
Amano is a unique manga artist, yet his personal life is shrouded in mystery, and his gender is unknown. The content of "Katekyo Hitman Reborn" and "Kamohashi Ron's Forbidden Reasoning" are very different, which shows that he is a manga artist who excels in a variety of genres. I'm also curious to hear what Amano thought of the anime when it airs! That's all for today. Thank you for reading.
