Amy Kim Ganter (born 1980 in Binghamton, New York),[1] is an American author and illustrator of original English-language manga.

Career

Ganter is a winner in the fourth Rising Stars of Manga[2] competition, winning the third-place prize of $1,000 and a trophy for her story The Hopeless Romantic and the Hapless Girl.[3] She later authored Tokyopop's Sorcerers & Secretaries,[4] the story of Josh, a "bad boy," who falls for Nicole, a university student and part-time secretary who writes the story of the sorcerer Ellon in her dream journal.[5]

Ganter is also a contributor to the second and fourth volumes of the Flight series of comics anthologies, telling Food from the Sea a "manga-derived tale of an epic clash between a fish seller and a clam seller" in volume 4.[6] She has adapted the R.L. Stine Goosebumps novella, Deep Trouble, for the graphic novel Terror Trips. Terror Trips also has stories illustrated by Jill Thompson and Jamie Tolagson.[7] She is also the creator of the defunct webcomic Reman Mythology.[8]

Since 2007, she has left off manga and webcomic creation, describing herself as a "former cartoonist" on her new blog.[9]

Influences

Ganter says that after out-growing superhero comics like Spawn and X-Men, she became influenced by the more realistic comics she discovered while on a childhood trip to Korea.[4] She cites Japanese manga series Ranma 1/2 as an influence.[10]

Personal life

Ganter is married to comics artist and Flight editor Kazu Kibuishi;[10] they reside in Bellevue, Washington. Ganter told the story of her "third first kiss" with her future husband for the book First Kiss (Then Tell).[11]
