Takahiro Wakamatsu
Description
Takahiro Wakamatsu is a Japanese manga artist known for his work as an illustrator on several manga series that have been adapted into popular anime television productions. His professional role is specifically that of an artist, bringing stories to life through visual narrative, rather than a writer or voice actor.
Wakamatsu first gained significant recognition for his work on the manga series Love After World Domination. The series was written by Hiroshi Noda, with Wakamatsu providing the illustrations. It was serialized in Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Magazine from October 2019 to November 2022. The story, a romantic comedy set against the backdrop of a superhero conflict, was later adapted into an anime television series produced by the animation studio Project No.9, which aired from April to June 2022.
Following this success, Wakamatsu again collaborated with writer Hiroshi Noda on another manga series titled No Longer Allowed In Another World. This series began serialization on Shogakukan's Yawaraka Spirits website in October 2019. It is a dark comedy and fantasy series that falls within the isekai, or another world, genre. This manga was also adapted into an anime television series, which premiered in July 2024.
Across his notable works, Wakamatsu functions exclusively as the illustrator, consistently paired with the same writer, Hiroshi Noda. This creative partnership has produced two distinct manga properties that successfully transitioned into anime adaptations. His artistic contributions are central to the identity of these series, which blend genre conventions such as romantic comedy and dark fantasy with engaging visual storytelling. Through these projects, Takahiro Wakamatsu has established himself as a significant artistic talent in the contemporary manga and anime industry.
