Nonki Miyasu
Description
Nonki Miyasu is a Japanese manga artist and original creator, born on November 1, 1962 in Mitaka, Tokyo, Japan. A graduate of Chuo University, he began drawing manga during his university years as a member of a manga club. Miyasu made his professional debut in 1983 with the series Love Love Amy, serialized in Monthly Shonen Champion. His pen name is derived from Japanese words that convey a sense of being easy-going and easy to look at.
Miyasu rose to prominence as a representative bishoujo manga artist of the 1980s, alongside creators such as Yuji Takashita, Toori Uozumi, and Naoki Yamamoto. His first major success came with Yarukkya Knight, which began serialization in Monthly Shonen Jump in 1984. The series proved popular enough to inspire a live-action film adaptation released in 2015. He also contributed work to Manga Burikko, a notable magazine focused on lolicon and bishoujo manga published between 1982 and 1985.
One of his most recognized works is Bouken Shite mo Ii Koro (also romanized as Bōken Shite mo Ii Goro and Bouken Shitemo-Iikoro), which was serialized in Weekly Big Comic Spirits from 1987 to 1989. The series was adapted into a three-episode original video animation (OVA) released between 1989 and 1990, for which Miyasu received credit as the original creator. This was followed by two live-action sequel films in 1992 and 1993.
Another significant work is Demon Fighter Kocho (Yakusai Kochou), serialized in Weekly Young Jump from 1995 to 1997 and collected into four volumes. This series was adapted into two live-action films in April and October 1997, as well as an OVA released in May 1997, with Miyasu again credited as the original creator. He also wrote lyrics for the OVA version.
Miyasu has worked under the pen name Hiromori Shinobu for certain publications. His artistic identity is characterized as creating playfully sexy comedies with recurring themes of romance, comedy, and seinen-oriented storytelling. Many of his works have been adapted directly to home video, including series such as Faultlessness, AV Nai Yatsura, and Welcome to Momoka Clinic. His extensive bibliography includes titles like Oh, Pantak Boy, Boku wa Mini ni Koishiteru, Golf 19, Tokyo Nanpa Street, and Celeb Nayu: AV nai Wakaokusama. In later years, Miyasu has also written practical books focused on sports, running, and health.
