Tomomoka Midori

Description
Tomomoka Midori is an original creator credited for the manga series Stella Women's Academy, High School Division Class C3. The name is a collaborative pen name used by a duo of two individuals known as Midori and Momoka. Their primary credited work is the Stella Women's Academy manga franchise, where they served as the illustrator in collaboration with the writer Ikoma. This work began as a follow-up to a previous web manga, with their version serialized in Kodansha's Monthly Young Magazine from May 2012 to December 2013, later compiled into three tankōbon volumes. The duo also illustrated a four-panel spin-off manga, 4-koma Shīkyūbu, which was published online in 2013. Their work on Stella Women's Academy, High School Division Class C3 was adapted into a thirteen-episode anime television series by the studio Gainax, which aired from July to September 2013. As the credited illustrator, Tomomoka Midori provided the original character designs and artwork that served as the foundation for the anime adaptation. The artistic identity associated with the name is defined by the manga's focus on airsoft sports, comedy, and slice-of-life elements within a school setting, all rendered for a seinen demographic. Their significance in the industry is tied to this single notable franchise, where their artwork was central to a multimedia project that expanded from a web comic to a serialized manga and subsequently to a televised anime production.
