Masakazu Ishiguro (Japanese: 石黒正数, Hepburn: Ishiguro Masakazu, born September 8, 1977) is a Japanese manga artist. He debuted in 2000 with the one-shot Hero prior to launching And Yet the Town Moves in 2005, which won the Seiun Award for Best Comic and an Excellence Award at the Japan Media Arts Festival. In 2018, he launched Heavenly Delusion, which topped the Kono Manga ga Sugoi! guidebook's list of the top manga for male readers.

Biography

Ishiguro was born in Fukui on September 8, 1977.[1][2] Ishiguro was fond of Fujiko Fujio's works growing up, especially Doraemon. When Ishiguro was in middle school, his dad rented Akira from a rental store and watched it with Ishiguro, who cites it as a major influence over his work.[3] Ishiguro later said that growing up he felt that becoming a manga artist was "the only way to go".[4] Ishiguro eventually graduated from Osaka University of Arts in 2001.[5][6]

Just prior to graduation, Ishiguro submitted the one-shot Hero to Kodansha's Monthly Afternoon magazine, which won the Afternoon Shiki Award [ja] in 2000. Soon after, he left Monthly Afternoon and published one-shots and short series in other magazines.[3][6] In 2005, Ishiguro launched And Yet the Town Moves, which received an anime adaptation.[7] In 2018, Ishiguro returned to Monthly Afternoon with Heavenly Delusion, which also received an anime adaptation.[8]
