The anime adaptation of the work "Kawaiisugi Crisis," which is serialized in Jump Square, will be broadcast in April 2023. It is a sci-fi comedy that depicts the interaction between aliens and Earth's animals, and many people have been waiting for it to be made into an anime because of its unprecedented combination and fun. Are you curious about the author of such a popular work? In this article, I would like to explain about the author while introducing his other works!
First: What kind of story is it?
The space empire "Azathoth" has a developed civilization and controls many stars. Liza Luna, a member of the interstellar research team, visits Earth to investigate as a preliminary step to the invasion. Although she landed on Earth, Lisa was truly astonished by the low level of civilization on Earth. However, at a cafe where she stopped for a meal, she encountered a creature that was "too cute" to be found on other planets in the universe. The creature's true identity was a "cat." What will happen to Lisa after this shocking encounter with a cat?
Author: Mitsuru Kido
The author is Mitsuru Kido. He has been serializing "Kawaiisugi Crisis" since November 2019. I have researched a lot about Kido, but there are still many things I don't understand. His age and gender are unknown, and it is also not known when he began working as a manga artist. As the name "Mitsuru" is rather masculine, it is possible that he is male. Although there are many mysteries surrounding him, Kido does have a Twitter account where he introduces his own work and talks about his joy at being made into an anime. With 20,000 followers, it is clear that many people are looking forward to the anime adaptation. Incidentally, as this year is the Year of the Rabbit, he has also posted an illustration in collaboration with a rabbit using characters from "Kawaiisugi Crisis". The concept of the work matches the cuteness of the rabbit. Kido has also worked on other works, so we would like to introduce two of them!
"Goodnight Sleepyhead and the Late-Owner JK"
The first work I'd like to introduce is "Goodnight Sleepyhead and the Late-Owner JK." High school girl Natsuki Shiraishi was raised by excellent parents and is also a student with excellent grades. One day, while she was studying while fighting off sleepiness, she heard someone whispering. At that moment, a boy appeared in front of Natsuki. He was a "sleep demon." Natsuki couldn't hide her surprise that the sleep demon had materialized and appeared. Natsuki tries to resist the temptation of sleepiness, which tells her that she should take a rest without pushing herself too hard, but she feels something different from the desire to sleep. The sleepiness's consideration deeply touches Natsuki, who tries too hard to live up to the expectations of those around her.
"Fumina Fumina"
Next, I would like to introduce a work called "Fumina Fumina". The main character, Himezawa Fumina, falls in love with her classmate, Akatsuki Harumi, but she hasn't slept for three years because she thinks of him so much. She is always thinking about Akatsuki at night, and as a result, she is unable to sleep. Her eyes are glaring, her eyelids have degenerated and are gone, and she always looks sick, but in fact, before she became insomniac, she was a beautiful girl. Her classmates try their best to get her to sleep, but it's no use... What will become of Fumina's love and sleep? This work and "Goodnight Sleepy Demon and the Late-Owner JK" have in common the theme of "sleep," but since they are depicted from different angles, both works are very enjoyable. If you are interested, please give them a read.
