About The Author
NisiOisiN
Born in 1981, NISIOISIN left Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto to pursue a career in storytelling. Initially, he had ambitions to be a comic artist, but upon realizing his art was not up to par, he began to focus on his writing. He would eventually win the 23rd Mephisto Prize for Kubikiri Cycle, acknowledging his talents as a mystery writer, at the age of 20.
Since his debut in 2002, he has penned more than 50 novels and a number of comics. NISIOISIN’s works often cover themes of youth, but are framed in genres familiar to the masses. His works tend to mix mystery with comedy and touches of romance and/or the supernatural. He is a modern author in every sense, sometimes even experimenting with the Japanese language itself.
Many of his works have been adapted into animated television series and films. His best-known works are the Monogatari series and Katanagatari.
