Career[edit]

Kōmoto originally submitted the short manga Explosive Interview (Explosive Interview) to Shueisha in 2018 under the pseudonym Kashiwazaki Koichi (柏崎 康一) and won the 89th Akatsuka Award Honorable Mention. Later, he drew the short manga Liberal Ethics Committee Member Yamada Taro under the same name and published it in Jump Giga; in the same year, he changed his pseudonym to Kouichiro (こういちろう) and published in Jump Giga a short manga titled God of Destruction Shivasaki (God of Destruction Shivasaki).[10][11][12][3][13]

Starting from 2020, Kōmoto will be able to officially serialize the series Mashle in Weekly Shōnen Jump, becoming his first full-length work. Mashle immediately won the 11th place in the 2020 Next Manga Award, the 8th place in the 2021 Everyone's Choice Tsutaya Manga Award, and the 3rd place in the 2021 Nationwide Bookstore Employees and Publisher Comics' Recommended Comics. The manga ended in 2023, ending the three-and-a-half-year serialization.[14][15][8][16][17][18][19]

Artistry[edit]

Style

Kōmoto noted that, while drawing, he pays close attention to "include an overall picture that allows you [ther reader] to understand the relationship between the characters for the first time. When drawing action scenes, I try to devise 'a picture with a tight perspective from the inside to the front." As he prefers "dangerous" (やばい, yabai) characters, Kōmoto frequently features that word when describing characters that appear in his manga.[20][21][22][23]

Influences

Kōmoto stated that his work has been influenced by One-Punch Man and Demon Slayer; he thought that adding items or motifs to the character design would make the character icon.[24]
