Hiroshi Noda is a Japanese manga writer and creator, known for his work as the original author behind several manga series that have been adapted into popular anime television productions. Hailing from Fukuoka Prefecture, Noda began his career as a manga artist, creating series such as Great People Housing Tsubaki Hills and Dear, Old Humanity, which were published by Shogakukan. Over time, his role shifted to primarily writing original stories, and he has since become recognized for his narrative work in the industry.
Noda is best known as the writer of the romantic comedy series Love After World Domination. The manga, which he created with illustrator Takahiro Wakamatsu, was serialized in Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Magazine from October 2019 to November 2022. The story follows the secret romance between a hero and a villainess from opposing organizations. The series was adapted into an anime television series by the studio Project No.9, which aired from April to June 2022.
Another major work by Noda is the dark fantasy and isekai series No Longer Allowed In Another World. Again collaborating with illustrator Takahiro Wakamatsu, Noda writes this series, which has been serialized on Shogakukan's Yawaraka Spirits website since October 2019. The narrative reimagines the classic isekai premise through a melancholic and literary lens. An anime adaptation produced by Atelier Pontdarc premiered in July 2024.
Noda has also authored other manga, including the original work The Demon King Is Always Watching and Mermaid Princess's Sorry Meal, for which he is credited as the original writer. His career demonstrates a pattern of sustained creative partnership with illustrator Takahiro Wakamatsu, and his major works have been successfully published by different major companies, with Love After World Domination published by Kodansha and No Longer Allowed In Another World published by Shogakukan.
In the industry, Noda is recognized for his ability to blend genre conventions with character-driven narratives.
